The Latest on COVID-19

With information changing daily, we have posted all updates regarding events here. This page is where you can check for status updates on happenings and news as it relates to Scout meetings as well as resources that might be helpful to you.
At Home: Scouting Activities

We found some pretty  cool activities for Scouts who are at home for a few weeks. Check out these cool 30-day challenges. We also posted links to helpful videos and resources to help you have a little fun around the house while completing Scouting advancements.  
We Need Your Financial Support

Would you give a charitable donation to help us through these trying times? We humbly ask for your support to keep Scouting going locally. With very little camp revenue or Scout Shop sales, we could really use your help. Please give online or send a check.
Eagle Boards & Projects 

Given social distancing, we know there are questions about Eagle Scout Boards of Review and Project Reviews. We anticipate National BSA will be issuing guidelines on Eagle Boards soon and we will pass those along as soon as we hear. Eagle info here.
In-Person Training Postponed

Two upcoming training dates for BALOO/IOLS and Leader Specific Training have been postponed. We will post updated in-person training dates here when we know more information. See classes offered online.
Tax Time: Scouting Expenses

Are Scouting expenses deductible? Is your "filing system" really your glove compartment that's stuff with gas receipts and crumbled up napkins? Click to see tips here. General guidelines to help you.
Derby Championship Postponed

The council-wide pinewood derby championship race will be postponed until a later date. Following guidelines prohibiting large gatherings, we feel it is best to reschedule this popular event. Check the derby page for more information as it becomes available.
