This summer, you can enjoy Scouting at home with your family or even while on a family trip. Become a Scouting summer scholar by completing some requirements, and in the end, you can earn a patch. A few of the requirements you might be doing all the time, for example, fishing, going to the zoo, or a national park. Visit the link below and get started.
That’s it for this week folks! Until next time, remember to stay prepared, stay adventurous, and keep the spirit of Scouting alive.
