Fashion trends ebb and flow. And while this blog probably isn’t the place to discuss the ins and outs of skinny jeans or no-show socks, there is one clothing debate we can settle once and for all. It’s a question that’s been asked since at least the 1990s, when I first joined Scouting: Should Scouts wear open-toe shoes or closed-toe shoes? The question hasn’t gone away in the decades since. Just this month, we heard from a volunteer named Kari Grantham, who writes: “We have lived in several states while Scouting, and every unit has said no open-toe shoes — ......

Your unit might have big plans this year, but it’s important to remember what shouldn’t be on your schedule. Throwing boomerangs? Tree climbing? Cliff-diving? You can find a list of many prohibited activities here in the BSA’s Guide to Safe Scouting. The guide, introduced in 1991, isn’t meant to take the fun out of Scouting. It’s designed to keep everyone safe. But what if you don’t know if an activity is allowed or not if it’s not mentioned in the guide? A good rule is this: Is the activity in a handbook or other current literature of the Boy Scouts ......

Jennifer sent in a Bobcat advancement ceremony to share with all of you: I recently helped put together a bobcat ceremony for our space derby.

Fiction by Jeff Kinney Illustrations by Kevin Keele Jayden was heading to camp, but all he could think of was cousin Elijah. A few hours earlier the two boys had been in Jayden’s room, and Jayden was stressed — for two reasons. For one, Jayden hadn’t finished packing, and his dad was already waiting out in the car. For two, Jayden’s older cousin, Elijah, was on Jayden’s bed, taking off his socks. “Yo, what’re you doing?” Jayden said angrily. Jayden picked Elijah’s sock off the floor, then dropped it when he realized it was wet with sweat. “Making myself at ......

I think this is one of those things which probably has about a hundred versions floating around out there. I’m going to give you the version I’m most familiar with and you can add your own variations in the comments. We have always done this as a cheer with two groups. The idea is to see which group can be the louder. This makes a fun activity for a Pack meeting or a campfire program. A former Cubmaster  used to write cheers down on slips of paper and put them in an empty Cheer ......

Nobody likes bug bites. And some insects can spread serious diseases, such as Lyme disease, West Nile virus and dengue fever. You can avoid biting insects using this three-part strategy. 1. DON’T GO WHERE BUGS ARE. Mosquitoes, ticks, no-see-ums, horseflies and the like generally emerge with warmer temperatures in spring. They thrive in wet places, especially around lakes and in forests. They persist into mid- or late summer or fall, depending on climate, disappearing once nights dip to freezing temperatures. • Think high and dry. Take trips to drier destinations at higher elevations. Insects often breed in boggy areas ......

Songs are a fun way to add some fun to a meeting or to get everyone involved in a campfire program. Some songs are silly. Some are repeat-after-me songs. Some get people up and moving.

Scouts help other people at all times, and after a year of staying home because of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of them are excited to start serving their communities like they did pre-pandemic. If your Scout has read this month’s issue of Scout Life magazine, he or she would’ve seen senior editor Aaron Derr’s story on BSA’s Summer of Service campaign. It’s pretty simple to be part of it. Do a project or Good Turn and let the BSA know. That’s all there is to it. It’s a time to remind our country of the good Scouts do on a ......

If you’re supposed to bloom where you’re planted, then Life Scout Ian Simon is flourishing. And he’s helping a local orphanage do some growing of its own as well. For his Eagle Scout service project, Ian planned, developed and gave leadership to the construction of a hydroponic garden for an orphanage in the Central American country of Panama. Why Panama? It’s where Ian and his family have lived since 2012. Ian grew up as a Scout in North Carolina — a member of Pack 222 and Pack 97 of the Mecklenburg County Council. In 2012, Ian’s dad, Glenn, took a ......
