Scouters, it's great you joined us for another issue of our weekly newsletter. Did you know I am an Eagle Scout, class of 1991? I earned my Eagle with Troop 141 at Edwards Air Force Base in California, and my service project involved setting up an interpretive trail at Vasquez Rocks, Los Angeles County Park.

With that said, what amazing projects have your Scouts done for their Eagle Project? Would they like a congratulatory letter from us? All you have to do is contact us with the scout's name, details about their project & challenges he overcame, plus any other information you think would be useful. You can either use the contact form https://insanescouter.org/contact_us.php or email us at scottr@insanescouter.org

By Jill Zelmanovits, CEO and Chief Listening Officer, Girl Guides of Canada Hackers, encryption and cyber threats were once ideas relegated to dark basements and IT talk. Today, cybersecurity impacts every industry, every level of government and everyone with personal information stored online (that’s pretty much all of us). And one day in the near future, a Girl Guide might just be the one that protects you from a cyber attack. At Girl Guides of Canada, we’ve always empowered girls with the relevant skills they need to excel. So it’s only natural we’d launch Digital Defenders, ......
 


Enjoy the warm weather of Florida while acquiring the latest tools to help your Scout unit succeed. That’s the promise of a volunteer training conference at the Florida Sea Base. Pick from six weeklong conferences, each held in January 2020 at the BSA’s Florida home. During your week in the Keys, you’ll learn new things and meet new people. The subject matter is excellent. The setting? Not too bad, either. You’ll have plenty of time to enjoy the beauty of this area and soak up the mid-January highs of 72 and lows of 65. Which conference will you choose? Here’s a ......
 


Scouts go on outdoor adventures all year long, including around Thanksgiving. We like to call it #Campsgiving, a time when the Boy Scouts of America encourages units to go hiking, camping and cooking traditional Thanksgiving meals outside. It’s not a new tradition for some units. For example, Troop 66 of West Suffield, Conn., hosts a Thanksgiving campout every year, where they cook turkeys (some in trash cans) and all the trimmings and invite another troop, a Cub Scout pack and all their family members to enjoy the feast. Sounds like fun? Of course, it is! If your pack, troop, ship or ......

Before saying “You’re Welcome” to Moana, jumping into Jumanji or asking wrestling fans if they could “smell what The Rock is cooking, ” Dwayne Johnson was a successful football player at the University of Miami. And it was during his years with the national championship-winning Miami Hurricanes that Johnson visited the Lincoln-Marti Camporee in Miami to meet the Scouts in attendance there. A recently rediscovered photo, which South Florida Council officials say is from 1991, confirms the celebrity sighting. It shows Johnson talking with a group of Cub Scouts at the event. “It was a lucky find and no one ......
