4. Scout-A-Thon Starts with You!
The 2020 Scout-A-Thon event was a success in large part because of the great Scout and Unit video content! Scout-A-Thon will return this July, so we are putting a call out to our Scouts, families, and Units to again prepare pre-recorded Scouting content for us to share during our event. Visit our Scout-A-Thon webpage for details and a link to the form to let us know the type of content you would like to submit. And, mark your calendars for July 1, livestreamed from 8 am to 2 pm!
5. Invite a Friend
Scouting is better with friends! Invite a friend to join you at your next meeting or Scouting adventure and help spread the word about this great program.
