Due to the governor's order to stay at home, we will be canceling our usual Court of Honor. The Scouts deserve to show off their awards, receive tremendous applause, visit with their friends, and feel more connected with each other. Our current standing is that a virtual event would not really satisfy the needs, so we will be waiting until the fall Court of Honor for recognition.
Some may look on this and be sad. Others could see an opportunity to receive recognition for multiple ranks, a dozen merit badges, outdoor awards, STEM awards, and a plethora of new skills. Instead of feeling trapped inside, seek out opportunities outside and try to expand your horizons. There are a lot of exciting possibilities. Join Scouts from across the nation in a huge event happening May 2nd at 10:00.
Camping tips! Physical fitness and community service! Skill development! (Moviemaking merit badge and STEM awards) Campsite competition! Virtual campfire From camp-style cooking and friendly competitions, to special guests and campfire singalongs, this virtual event will bring the best parts of Scouting to life. Help us continue Scouting's legacy and join us as we conduct Service-In-Place from April 24th through May 4th. SERVICE IN PLACE EVENT DONATE TO SCOUTING During these unprecedented times we need to be creative in how we conduct our Good Turn Daily, while still adhering to state and federal guidelines for safety. Service-from-Home is an opportunity for you and your family to do community service while still abiding by the stay-at-home order. Projects can range from cleaning the walking paths or parks in your neighborhood, creating cloth masks for donation to health care systems, or helping with a neighbor's yard work. No act of service is too small. A key component is recording and sharing your efforts. Your creativity and innovation not only support our communities and neighborhoods, but it also inspires others to act. Help us celebrate your service, and provide resources to others by recording your Service-In-Place hours digitally by using our Service In Place tracker. Join us to for a scavenger hunt and build a Rube Goldberg Machines!
