Scouting at Home for Scouts and Leaders
With schools closed for an extended period of time, Scouts and families will be looking for educational and fun activities. This is a great opportunity to review the Scouting program and work on advancement and various badges. Please remember, any electronic communication involving a youth member must adhere to the BSA's Youth Protection Policies.
Please email Peter Steiner, if you have any Scouting at-home activities that we can share here on this page: Peter.steiner@scouting.org
