Leader of the Pack Incentive

We know how hard it can be to find Den Leaders. The Leader of the Pack Incentive is to help provide a blueprint of healthy activities for a unit to install. Check quarterly and those units that earn 38 points or more will receive a $75 credit on there unit account. The ultimate goal is to help get more Den Leaders involved in return providing better quality programming. Just think if each den was filled and you had 6 grade levels. That would be six individual den leaders. Maybe you’re a family pack that would equate to 7-12 den leaders. Sometimes a Cubmaster or Committee Chair are busy doing two roles when they already have an important job to do, let alone also serving as Den Leader.

New Health Form coming in December 2019

A revised version of the Annual Health & Medical Record form is being released in December 2019. This new form will replace all previous versions. Please be sure that if your unit has extra copies of the old form, that they need to be disposed of when the new version is released next month. We will keep you informed of when the new form is released.

New Youth Safety Webpage

This new webpage within Scouting.org offers an easy-to-navigate overview of our Youth Protection policies using language and visuals that help the general public or those who are new to Scouting understand what the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) does to help keep kids safe. This webpage does not replace the pre-existing Youth Protection page; instead, it offers an overview of our policies in a simplified version for those who may not be familiar with our terminology or program details. It also features expert testimonials, public access to our Youth Protection Training modules without the need to create a My.Scouting account, and clarifications of top misconceptions. We encourage you to visit and share this resource whenever you are asked what the BSA is doing to keep kids safe...[Read more]

Safety Moment

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning-At Home or Camp

Carbon monoxide (CO) causes upward of 400 deaths and results in the hospitalization of more than 4,000 people each year in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
