In my volunteer life, I bounce back and forth between two worlds, Scouting and my church’s youth choir program, and I’m constantly amazed at the differences between the two. Scouting offers many things the church can’t match—an advancement program that gives Scouts a clear pathway, publications like Program Features for Troops and Crews that simplify planning, and the safety policies found in the Guide to Safe Scouting, which not only keep us all safe but save us the trouble of formulating our own rules through trial and error. But in our strength there is weakness. In many corners of the ......
Gregory H. Johnson; photo credit: NASA As a child, Gregory H. Johnson enjoyed asking questions, especially when he could discover the answer for himself. And as Johnson explains in a recent article in the U.S. News and World Report, Scouting served as an avenue for him to explore his interests, fully embrace his inquisitive nature, and hone leadership skills that would later become crucial in his career as pilot of the final flight of Space Shuttle Endeavour, a colonel in the Air Force, and the Executive Director for the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS). “Scouting ......
For #NationalHamburgerDay, we wanted to show some appreciation to the creators of the dish we have devoured on too many campouts to mention. So who created the hamburger? Short answer: The hamburger’s origins are up for debate! Full scoop: Check out this video from NowThis to see who claims to have started serving up burgers first. The Hamburger’s Roots Probably Start With the Mongols If you watched the video above, you know about all the debate around who made burgers a “thing” in the U.S. But at least a little credit for the cookout classic probably goes to the ......
Dear Andy, I know that many families—especially military families—move during the summer and then have to find a new troop for their Scout(s) to join once the school year starts. (We live in a city that hosts a military training base, which means we have plenty of families that go through this each summer.) This can be a daunting task as many families try to make a decision based on their attendance of one or two troop meetings as they check out multiple options. But what should they be asking and looking for? I’ve come up with a set of ......
This sure beats an afternoon at the community pool. This summer, the Scouts of Troop 223 from Pacific Palisades, Calif., part of the Western Los Angeles County Council, will travel to Alaska for an epic two-week adventure. The trip will be the culmination of months of preparation at troop meetings and on weekend trips. The Scouts have practiced wilderness first aid, honed their leadership skills and perfected their packing technique. Like all the best parts of Scouting, the entire journey — from idea to planning to on-the-ground leadership — has been youth-led. And more than just making these Scouts feel ......
