A spot for Scouting and non-Scouting families alike to find quality age and grade specific character building activities at home.
True youth protection can be achieved only through the focused commitment of everyone in Scouting. It is the mission of Boy Scouts of America to maintain a culture of Youth Protection awareness and safety at the national regional, area, council, district and unit levels.
Every two years All Registered BSA adult leaders need to renew their Youth Protection Training. A lapse in Youth Protection Training can cause delays in your unit’s charter renewal. Please take a few minutes to log into My.Scouting.org, to verify if you are due to renew your training this month.
Click here for a step-by-step guide to completing your Youth Protection Training today.

Merit Badges & Workbooks Conducive to Working on @ Home
Merit Badges
For Boys & Girls 11 years old and up. Registered Scouts BSA members must have Unit approval and a Merit Badge Counselor to work on Merit Badges, contact your Unit leader.
Young people can learn at meaningful levels about many topics by working on Merit Badges. Below is a list of Merit Badges that you can work on at home. If you are a Registered Scouts BSA Member, work with your Unit Leadership to identify a registered Merit Badge Counselor so that you can officially earn the Merit Badge for your Scout Advancement. If you are not a registered member, fell free to work on an at home Merit Badge, and have your Parent or Guardian sign off on the Certificate of Achievement when you are done. Remember: Don’t just complete the workbook…if it says Demonstrate, or Show, you must actually do the task.
Please check the Other Resources section of this website frequently to sign up for Virtual Merit Badge Classes, and other @ Home Opportunities. |
