Popcorn, Popcorn and more Popcorn!We continue to be amazed at the participation and enthusiasm that each of you bring to the table. The effort put forth by each of you to help ensure we have a fun year (and free dues) continues to impress. Remember, not only can you sell popcorn through the “Show and Sells,” but you can do it via your popcorn sales sheet you received at the Pack meeting as well as online, and through neighborhood blitzes!

Youth Protection Training

We take our scouts’ safety seriously. True youth protection can be achieved only through the focused commitment of everyone in Scouting. It is the mission of Youth Protection volunteers and professionals to work within the Boy Scouts of America to maintain a culture of Youth Protection awareness and safety at the national, regional, area, council, district, and unit levels.

More information and links to this training are located HERE.
