The Eagle Scout Award isn’t the finish line, but it might feel that way. What else can you do after Eagle? Scouting offers plenty of ways to stay active in your unit, help others along their Scouting trail and earn some really cool awards. KEEP LEADING Ever since Jacob Lowrie, 15, of Troop 336 in Fort Worth, Texas, earned the Eagle award, his main focus has been on helping other Scouts advance, including his younger brother, Mason. Younger Scouts will naturally look to you as an Eagle to lead the way for them. Share your expertise and show them how ......Â
Light pollution (the excessive use of unnatural light) is making it tougher to see stars, planets, the Milky Way and many other space wonders. Luckily, the International Dark-Sky Association is working to protect the night skies, certifying dozens of parks with exceptional stargazing experiences. Here are five of them: NEWPORT STATE PARK Newport State Park in Ellison Bay, Wisconsin, is a wilderness-designated area on Lake Michigan. It’s a fantastic spot to camp and see the night sky. CAPITOL REEF NATIONAL PARK At Capitol Reef National Park in Utah’s rugged red rock country, you can attend the annual Heritage Star ......Â
Consider it one small step toward confirming something we’ve known all along — and one giant leap toward proving something that hadn’t been reported previously. A newly uncovered troop recharter form substantiates Neil Armstrong’s status as an Eagle Scout and proves that the first person on the moon subscribed to Boys’ Life magazine. Jim Mason, development director for the BSA’s Black Swamp Area Council, found the priceless artifact on July 22 — just two days after the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. His council was formed about 27 years ago with the merger of the Shawnee Council, of which ......Â
• Send us a photo of your coolest Lego creation Clint Parry gets paid to play with Lego bricks. As the master model builder for Legoland Discovery Center Michigan, Parry works in an office filled with 250, 000 Lego bricks sorted by size and color. He does most of his building in front of a crowd. When Parry created a Lego version of the city of Detroit, thousands of Legoland visitors each day eyed his every move. Parry, an Eagle Scout, says he regularly draws on skills he learned in Scouting. He points to merit badges such as ......Â
Forty teams took off on a 2, 538-mile airplane race from Tennessee to Canada in June, but before the pilots started the 43rd Annual Air Race Classic from the McKellar-Sipes Regional Airport, they were greeted by Explorers with Aviation Post 214 of Jackson, Tenn. The Explorers transported pilots and their gear from planes to the airport terminal. The teams were at the airport for a few days before the start of the race for meetings and briefings, and the Explorers were on hand to help where needed. “This event would be like Oshkosh but on a much smaller scale which ......Â
THE LAZIEST SCOUTMASTER Charlie, with his wife and 12 year-old son, moved in next door just two weeks ago. Charlie Junior is a Scout, and Charlie Senior—who’s been reading my columns off and on since his son was a Tiger—asked me about a week ago if I knew anything about Scout troops in town that he might check out for Charlie Junior. You bet! I told him about three local troops, including where and when they met, and encouraged him to visit all three. Yesterday, while we were mowing our lawns side-by-side, we took a break and I asked him ......

Series 1 of 3 Have you ever ran down a sand dune? If not, you should try it sometime. During this video we visit The Dunes Climb in Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore, Michigan. We explore the dunes and have fun along the way. If you'd like to climb the dunes it can be strenuous and hot during summer months. The climb is around 1/2 mile to the top and if you'd like to hike to lake Michigan it is 1.4 miles one way. Make sure to bring lots of water and sandals ......
