Welcome Scouts and Scouters! Here you can find resources for Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, and Venturers. I also have ideas for games, crafts, recipes, ceremonies, songs, skits, themes and more.
Ask a Question
Are you facing a challenging question related to Scouting that seems to have no clear answer? Don’t worry; I’m here to assist! Contact me with your queries, no matter how big or small, and I’ll make sure to share them with the broader Scouting community. This way, you can tap into the collective wisdom and experience of fellow scouts and leaders.
Whether it’s about camping tips, merit badge requirements, event planning, or leadership advice, the Scouting community is a rich resource. By sharing your question, not only will you get the answers you need, but you’ll also help others who might have the same question. Let’s work together to find solutions and enhance our Scouting journey. Remember, every question is an opportunity to learn and grow in our Scouting adventure!
Share Your Ideas
Do you have a fantastic Scouting idea or innovative approach that you’re excited about? Whether it’s a unique camping hack, a creative fundraising strategy, a fun game for your troop, or an effective way to teach a merit badge, I’d love to hear from you! Contact me, providing as many details as you can. If your idea aligns well with the principles and practices of Scouting and seems like it would benefit other scouts and leaders, I will gladly share it with the wider Scouting community.
By contributing your ideas, you’re not just helping your troop, but potentially inspiring and aiding Scouts and leaders across various programs. Let’s collaborate to make Scouting even more engaging and enriching for everyone involved. Remember, every idea, big or small, can make a significant difference!
You are also invited to join the Scout Moms, Dads, and Leaders Facebook group to ask questions and share ideas.
Current Topics for Scouts and Scouters

Craft, game, and snack ideas for your Halloween party or meeting. While some work best for younger kids, others are also appropriate for the older Scouts.
Webelos Math on the Trail Adventure
The Webelos Math on the Trail Adventure is a great way for Scouts to learn how math is used in everyday life, especially in the outdoors. This adventure helps Webelos see the practical side of math by applying it to real-world situations like hiking. It’s about planning, predicting, and problem-solving. Through this activity, Scouts develop a basic understanding of how important math is when exploring nature.
Collections Merit Badge
While working on the Collections merit badge, Scouts learn to collect, categorize, and preserve items they appreciate. They also learn about career opportunities related to collecting.
Arrow of Light Personal Fitness Adventure
The Personal Fitness adventure helps Arrow of Light Scouts learn about staying healthy and active. In this adventure, Scouts work on activities that teach them about physical fitness and good eating habits. These skills are important for a healthy life. The adventure is not just about doing exercises; it’s also about understanding why being active and eating well matters.
Simple Closing Flag Ceremony
The Simple Indoor Closing Flag Ceremony is a respectful way to end a Cub Scout meeting. A leader directs the Color Guard to retrieve the flags. Scouts in uniform salute, and others place their hands over their hearts. The U.S. flag is always on the right side as the Color Guard exits the room. The ceremony teaches respect, teamwork, and leadership. It helps Scouts build confidence while honoring their country. This short, easy ceremony leaves a lasting impression and reminds Scouts of their values.
The Scout Law
The Scout Law used by the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) is based on the original Scout Law developed by Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of the Scouting movement. The Scout Law was first published in Scouting for Boys in 1908, and it quickly became a fundamental part of Scouting around the world. A Scout is: Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, Reverent.
Bear Chef Tech Adventure
The Bear Chef Tech Adventure is a fun activity for Bear Scouts that combines cooking with technology. In this adventure, Scouts learn how technology is used in the kitchen. They explore different kitchen appliances and how they work. This helps them understand the role of technology in everyday life.
Archaeology Merit Badge
By doing the requirements for the Archaeology merit badge, Scouts find out how sites and artifacts from the past help us develop a more accurate picture of how our ancestors lived. They learn about the laws and regulations which protect archaeological sites. They do some hands-on research and explore careers related to archaeology.
Webelos My Safety Adventure
The My Safety Adventure is an essential part of the Webelos journey in Cub Scouts. This adventure helps young Scouts learn about personal safety in a practical and engaging way. By focusing on everyday safety at home and during Scout activities, Webelos develop important skills that contribute to their growth and awareness.
Aims of Scouting: Character Development
Character development is one of the aims of Scouting. Scouting America uses its programs to help young people build strong character. This includes learning how to make good choices, show respect, and take responsibility for their actions.
