Reminder – It’s time to renew your unit Charter!!

The Online Charter Renewal System has been live since October 1^st, 2023. If you haven’t started the renewal process, NOW IS THE TIME!

The Spirit of Adventure Council requires that the recharter be completed no later than December 1^st, so it can be processed in a timely manner.

Beginning March 1, 2024, the 12-month membership cycle will not be tied to the unit recharter process. Unit renewal will be separate from adult and youth membership renewal. The process will be much simpler as the system will allow the chartered organization to approve the adult leadership and confirm they have the required adult supervision to conduct the Scouting program.

If you need help with the recharter process, please visit us at the link below.

Scouting for Food

The Spirit of Adventure Council is excited to be providing Scouting for Food doorhangers as a resource for unit food drives!! The concept of the doorhangers is the unit leaves them on the doors or in the mailboxes of the neighborhoods they intend to collect food on a Saturday. The food is collected the following Saturday.

Hunger. It's a way of life for an increasing number of families. Many face hopeless decisions around paying for medicine, heat or food. Groups providing assistance struggle with increasing requests and shrinking resources. The Boy Scouts of America answer this call by collecting food and supporting community agencies that fight hunger.

Where many Food Banks usually were fine with food this time of year, however, there has been a strong need for food donations right now.

Winter Camp: Winter Festival Winter is here, and with it, a chance to either test our mettle against the harsh winter weather, or to stay warm and safe inside, picking up hobbies and skills to help pass the time until Spring. So then, why not both? This year at New England Base Camp, join us for a mix of the classic winter activities we have come to enjoy—sledding, skating, fire-building, and more—along with a focus on some cozy indoor activities too—arts and crafts, storytelling, boardgames, and community-building.

Winter Camp: Cozy Edition Winter is here, and as much as we love rugged outdoorsmanship and the skills it provides, there’s something to be said about indoorsmanship too! Not only will we learn how to stay safe and comfortable outdoors despite the weather, but also many traditional indoor activities that people have passed down for centuries: storytelling, music, games, crafts, and more! Participants will also be helping the younger program with their Winter Festival: either by helping create the props and costumes, participating themselves, or helping run and plan some of their booths and activities!
