Parents… there has been a change to the BSA Youth Protection Policy that affects many of you.  Before this year, taking the ‘Youth Protection Training’ (YPT) was sufficient for attending a weekend overnight with Scouts. Beginning this year, if you want to camp with the troop, you must be a ‘Registered Adult’.    The primary reason behind this is that registration includes a formal background check as part of the vetting process.  I would encourage everyone who is even slightly on the fence to go ahead and register.  It may end up being the difference between having enough adult leadership for a campout or having to cancel… and we do stuff that is fun for adults too.

There is currently no new news for scouts.

The traditional Scouting program, Scouts BSA is where youth develop outdoor survival skills, self-confidence, and ethics through youth planned activities with increased attention to service, community engagement, and leadership. 

Scouts BSA is where youth explore their interests and develop skills by participating in outdoor activities like hiking, camping, and canoeing. Scouts earn merit badges along the journey and work towards achieving Scouting’s highest rank—Eagle Scout.

Scouts typically meet once a week. Troops may hold special activities, like service projects or outdoor experiences, in place of or in addition to one of the weekly meetings.

Elected youth lead their troop and run the meetings at the guidance of the Scoutmaster and other adult leaders. Unlike Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA is a youth program planned mainly by the Scouts, not the parents.

Scouts BSA prepares youth to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling the values of the Scout Oath and Law. Throughout their time in Scouting, Scouts learn the value of hard work and experience the thrill of seeing it pay off.
