Scout Sunday, February 6th, 2022
Scout Sunday is fast-approaching, and we want to know how your unit celebrates this special day! Do you attend service in uniform, perform a service project, present religious awards and emblems? Maybe it's a little bit of each. We'd love to hear about your Scout Sunday traditions! Email us at rebekah.nyalko@scouting.org. You can pre-order patches right now through the Scout Shop.
