Did you know - "The World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) is a confederation of more than 170 National Scout Organizations with over 50 million members worldwide. It was formed to encourage the expansion and development of Lord Baden-Powell’s dream throughout the world by promoting unity and the understanding of Scouting’s purpose and principles." (https://www.scouting.org/international/world-scouting/).

Scouting America contributes about 3 million members to the WOSM!

The Scouting program has specific objectives, commonly referred to as the “Aims of Scouting.” They are character development, leadership development, citizenship training, and personal fitness. Leadership development is also one of Scouting’s eight methods contributing to both good character and good citizenship.

The methods by which the aims are achieved are listed below in random order to emphasize the equal importance of each:

Buddy groups are an essential part of the safe scouting program but can buddy groups be made up of three scouts of mixed genders? Learn the answer and check-out more important information in the latest online addition of the Guide to Safe Scouting here.

We have a limited supply of overstock left from our Holiday Candle fundraiser. Candles are $20 each. For each candle a scout sells, $5 will be credited to his scout account.

Because we have a limited supply, candles are available on a first-come-first-serve basis. Scouts should submit their candle requests through the event rsvp here.

Be sure to indicate the candle 'name' and 'quantity' in the comments section. Items will be distributed based on the time-stamp of the rsvp request. Important - the cost of any candle requested is the responsibility of the scout. Be sure to collect payment with any taken orders you make outside the troop. Mr Howdyshell will distribute the candles on Monday, December 8th after any payment due has been received. Final order requests will be taken until supply runs out or until December 7th - whichever comes first.

Made in Ohio, these soy-based, hand-poured candles come in a 16 oz lidded jar perfect for gift giving. Each offers approx 90 hrs of burn time.
