Annual Council Events

Year after year volunteers, leaders, and youth from within our communities come out and participate in a wide array of council events. Each member leaves with their lives and the lives of others impacted every time. Participate in fellowship with fellow Scouters, earn merit badges and awards by working with real life experts, recognize leaders in your unit for their outstanding mentorship, all while gaining a self-awareness for the things you enjoy most through Scouting.

Community Service

Good turns come in all sizes - but are all equally important. Big examples are, saving a life, rebuilding a home destroyed by a natural disaster, cleaning up our waterways, working with a community to build a park, or representing the United States of America by placing flags on a veteran's grave for Memorial Day. Other qualifying good turns are small, thoughtful acts such as helping a child cross a busy street, go to the store for an elderly neighbor, collect food for the hungry, cut back brush blocking a traffic safety sign, doing something special for a sibling, or by welcoming a new student to your school.

Journey to Excellence is a quality awards program designed to recognize units, districts, councils, areas, and regions in achieving excellence in providing a quality program to a growing youth population in America at all levels of Scouting. Join the journey to excellence for the chance to share unit service accomplishments with fellow Scouters throughout the nation. Reporting service hours benefits your local council and will enable us to provide additional resources in areas of interest and necessity.
