Hey Scouters, let me tell you a little story. The other day I was at the office and I started running around acting all crazy, fling my arms all over. While yelling “it's all around me it's all around me”. Co-workers were looking at me like I was crazy. Finally one of them bravely asked, “what's all around you?” I replied in all seriousness, “why air of course” and then sat down and went back to work. If I wasn’t the boss I think they would have killed me.
Ok maybe that didn’t happen, or maybe it did. What do you think?
In the meantime, do you know of any summer camps we should feature? Tell us about the camp at https://forms.gle/1fkGsmaurneSaJFt5

Want to know the secret formula for creating amazing adventures for girls and how you can do it, too? Give girls a starring role in planning your event right from the get go. At Ontario’s recent LEAP camp, that’s exactly what they did – with girl members playing a key role on their planning team every step of the way. It’s just one of the ways Girl Guides is ensuring girls have the chance to flex their leadership muscles – through meaningful leadership roles that help create experiences that are totally girl-driven. In Guiding, we know ......
Scouts are among the first to respond when a disaster strikes. They swoop in to serve, often helping complete strangers without expecting even a simple thanks. This week, though, it wasn’t just strangers who needed helping. It was a fellow Scout. The tornadoes that ripped through Dallas on Sunday left a troop without a place to meet and one of that troop’s Scouts without a place to call home. Slaton Strey, a 13-year-old Life Scout in Troop 577 of the BSA’s Circle Ten Council, lost his house in the powerful storm. “Their house was just in the wrong place at ......

Q: How do you clean a bugle that hasn’t been used for several years?— Michael, Cold Spring Harbor, New York A: Dunk the bugle in soapy water and lightly scrub the outside with a washcloth. To clean hard-to-reach places inside, use a flexible cleaning brush, often called a snake brush. (The $28 Yamaha Trumpet Maintenance Kit contains a cloth and a few brushes, including a 3-foot plastic-coated snake brush.) After you’ve scrubbed the bugle, dunk the instrument again in clean water and dry it thoroughly. Jeff Weir, corps director of the Naval Academy Drum Bugle Corps, recommends not ......

A map and compass bearing can point you in the direction you wish to travel, but don’t forget to also calculate the length of your route. For that, you can use the distance ruler — or bar scale — in the map’s bottom margin. 1. Place one end of a piece of string on the map at your starting point. 2. Lay out the string so it rests on top of the route you plan to use, bending the string so it conforms to any twists and turns of your expected journey. Pinch the string where it touches the ......
