Community News
Scouting: Something for Every Age Group!
COVID came and everything shut down. Schools, restaurants, sports and summer camps all closed. It is BORING. Well not everything shut down!

Cub Scouts and Scouts BSA changed but did not stop. Yes, everyone went virtual for a while, but now units are meeting in small groups with temperature checks, social distancing, masks and fun. Some groups have even gone hiking, camping, canoeing etc. 

Boys Life magazine is free for the rest of the year for all. Boys Life has also put on the Trek@2 program all summer on its Facebook page. You can see the videos any time.

This weekend the Scout Saturday Live program is back. Join the fun today. To find out more about scouting locally and nationally check the Chickasaw Council, Eastern District Facebook Page.

Check the BeAScout link to find out about a unit near you or to just get more information.
