Volunteer Resource Groups  Scouting is families working together to help raise each other’s kids. The curriculum is the books, what the parents and leaders do with the lessons and activities is their unique program.

Over the next several weeks we will be launching new Volunteer Resource Groups. These groups are modeled after Employee Resource Groups – which ......

With schools closed and many Scouting events on pause, how do you continue to “Do a Good Turn Daily”? By remembering that acts of Scouting service don’t have to stop just because you’re at home. Here are some ideas for following the Scout Slogan while still staying safe: 1.
