As a Scouter, you are well-aware of Duty to God and the important role it has played in your Scouting adventures. However, as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ends its partnership with the BSA after 2019, will Duty to God also meet its end? This is an interesting question, and one that has come to many people’s minds. Because the majority of units in our Council are sponsored by the Church, it might seem like any faith or religion-based programs are a result of the partnership between the Church and the BSA. ......
Your Scouts can take flight and earn a cool new STEM Nova Award, thanks to a collaboration between iFLY and the Boy Scouts of America. iFLY indoor skydiving gives Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA members, Sea Scouts and Venturers a chance to fly high while working on the “Up and Away” STEM Nova Award.

Gone are the days of BSA properties being open for a few weeks each summer and a weekend or two in the spring and fall. The newest trend in the Boy Scouts of America: finding ways to use BSA facilities in all four seasons. The best example might be the Summit Bechtel Reserve, the BSA’s high-adventure playground in West Virginia. For some time now, SBR has used its picturesque setting and world-class venues to host events like Spartan Races and community festivals. But those events have typically been during the summer. With the completion of state-of-the-art buildings for training and lodging ......
Five words — that’s all that fundamentally separates an Eagle Scout service project from a standard Scouting service project. Five words make all the difference. I’m referring to these: “plan, develop and give leadership …” All service projects fulfill a Scout’s oath to “help other people at all times” and “Do a Good Turn Daily.” But an Eagle Scout service project — considered by many to be the toughest of all the Eagle Scout rank requirements — takes things up a few levels. And it all hinges on those five words. The five words in context Requirement 5 of the ......
A Lutheran pastor in Virginia, a land development engineer in North Carolina and a fitness-focused Instagram influencer based in Brooklyn, N.Y. One common thread connects each of these three women — and six others with similar success stories. All of them got their start in Venturing as members of Crew 1886 of the Washington, D.C.-based National Capital Area Council. The crew formed in 2002, when the Venturing program was just 4 years old. Distinguished Eagle Scout Michael Pocalyko and Catherine Pressler created the all-girl crew. Pocalyko’s daughter had an older brother who had just become an Eagle Scout. Pressler’s daughter ......
