On June 19, 1865, enslaved African Americans in Texas were told they were free. A century and a half later, people across the U.S. continue to celebrate the day, which is now a federal holiday. Please note that the Leadership Center and Scout Shop will be closed on Saturday, June 17th and Monday, June 19th in observance of the Juneteenth holiday. We look forward to seeing you again on Tuesday the 20th.

The National Summertime Pack Award is made to encourage a Pack to be active when school is out for the summer, by doing one activity per month in June, July, and August. This is an individual recognition for Scouts; however, a Pack can qualify for the certificate and flag streamer by planning and conducting three summertime Pack activities. Our National Summertime Pack Award Unit Planner has been updated for 2023!
