It's Time for an Application Refresh!
Thank you to over 95% of our adult members who have already completed the new Adult Application.
Related to that, it’s time to refresh your adult application supply! In order to comply with the background check authorization requirements,
we will no longer be accepting applications printed prior to 2018
, unless the supplemental background check form required for recharter is also included. Anyone submitting applications to the front desk without the appropriate background check authorization form will be asked to return the application to the new volunteer to complete the additional paperwork.
The current version of the adult application is available in limited supply at the Scout office or for download

Sign-up Today!
The Scout Impact Project is a community service project initiative where we are asking that all Scouts, Scouters, family and friends come together to show the impact of Scouting in our community at the same time over the course of 60 days in the Spring. We're asking each unit to complete a small service project during April or May. We suggest that you work with your chartered partner to show the strong spirit of Scouting and to make a difference in your local community. Our goal is to collectively provide our communities of the tri-state area with
thousands of community service hours
. Registration is now open for all units to start preparing for their Scout Impact Project! For details and to sign up, click
