Transporting Scouts Safely

Driving can be one of the most dangerous forms of travel. Motor vehicle accidents can lead to serious injuries and even fatalities—not only for the driver but for passengers and others on the road. Motor vehicle accidents typically produce the most frequent and severe liability claims affecting the Scouting family.

Announcing Our Silver Beaver Class

Council Recognition Dinner Registration

Looking ahead to the fall of 2023, our Council has gone all-in on a giant territory-wide camporee called MassJam. Mark it down on your calendars for Columbus Day Weekend October, 7-9 2023. It will be held on Cape Cod's Barnstable fairgrounds. For information, check out the website by clicking the button below. We will be joining Councils from across the territory to help staff, coordinate, and bring participants.

Training Corner

Led by the Council's Training Committee, Districts, and Camps, we have a robust and diverse training schedule planned for 2023. We have trainings for Scouters of all ages and programs on the docket. Check out the Training Calendar by clicking the button below.

Training Calendar

National Youth Leader Training

Two courses one premier training. NYLT is a high-impact youth leader training that we are holding twice this summer. One at Camp Workcoeman and one at June Norcross Webster Scout Reservation.

Registering for NYLT is on a “waitlist” approach to avoid participants registering and paying without Scoutmaster recommendation. Here’s how waitlist registration works:

Click on the green “Waitlist” box to the right, then “Register Waitlist” from the next screen
Enter the information for the participant(s) you’re signing up for the course
Within a week, we’ll reach out to the participant’s Scoutmaster or unit leader to confirm their recommendation
You’ll receive an e-mail notice to go back in and complete registration and payment

Registration is complete when participants are fully paid and have submitted Code of Conduct and complete Health Form.
