Spring campout support

Posted on Nov 3 2026 - 8:56pm

Parents, we need volunteers to plan and lead our spring campouts.  Do you have a hobby, passion, or expertise to build a campout around?

Leading a campout themed around your hobby is a great opportunity to mentor our scouts while spending the weekend doing something you enjoy.  There are plenty of youth campgrounds in the area that support activities like fishing, biking, hiking, canoeing, rock climbing, geocaching, history, or aviation.  Let’s connect you to one of them.

Scouting University: Merit Badges - Saturday, November 7

Posted on Nov 3 2026 - 8:56pm

SCOUTING UNIVERSITY: LEADER TRAINING DAY

Sharpen your Scouting skills. Learn something new. Connect with other Scouts and leaders.  Take a Merit Badge.  So much fun!

Nuclear Science Merit Badge (3.5 hrs):  Nuclear science gives us a simple explanation of the natural world. The ultimate goal of nuclear science is to find out if there is one fundamental rule that explains how matter and forces interact. Earning the Nuclear Science merit badge is a chance for Scouts to learn about this exciting field at the cutting edge of science today.

Public Health Merit Badge (3.5 hrs): The field of public health deals with maintaining and monitoring the health of communities, and with the detection, cure, and prevention of health risks and diseases. Although public health is generally seen as a community-oriented service, it actually starts with the individual. From a single individual to the family unit to the smallest isolated rural town to the worldwide global community, one person can influence the health of many.
