Scouting in Connecticut

              

Is It Scouting?

What is an official Scouting activity? An official Scouting activity is consistent with the values, charter and bylaws, rules and regulations, operations manuals, and applicable literature of the Boy Scouts of America.

So, what is the program of the BSA? Collectively, it is all the books, literature, training, materials, policies, and guidelines provided by the BSA. The program is not something you create and call Scouting but something that can be found in the resources provided by the BSA. It develops leadership, character, and physical and mental fitness when executed properly.

Reminder Tonight Live

Figuring out how to create a fun den meeting in a virtual setting can feel overwhelming.

That’s why the National Council and 50 councils across the country worked together to produce these Cub Scout Adventures video resources to help den leaders.  We are pleased to have been apart of this project.
