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.

Cold Weather Camping with Cub Scouts
Cold weather camping is a fun and exciting way for Cub Scouts to experience the outdoors. It’s different from summer camping because of the cold, but with the right gear and preparation, it can be a great adventure. Cub Scouts get to see nature in a whole new way when it’s cold, with snow, ice, and winter wildlife. Winter camping helps Scouts build new skills and learn how to handle the cold.
Arrow of Light Fishing Adventure
The Arrow of Light Fishing Adventure is a great way for AOL Scouts to learn about fishing and the outdoors. This adventure helps Scouts understand where fish live and how they behave. It also teaches them about the importance of fishing safely and responsibly. By working on this adventure, Scouts gain valuable skills and knowledge that they can use for the rest of their lives.
Fire Safety Merit Badge
While doing the requirements for the Fire Safety merit badge, Scouts learn about the best ways to prevent fires in their homes and while outdoors. Scouts will also find out what to do if there is an uncontrolled fire. They visit a fire station and explore fire-safety related careers.
Lion Champions for Nature Adventure
The Lion Champions for Nature adventure helps young Lion Cub Scouts learn about the environment. During this adventure, Lions explore how to tell the difference between things that come from nature and things made by people. They also learn about different kinds of waste, like organic waste, paper, and glass, and how these can be recycled. This is important because it helps them understand how to care for our planet.
Smacos Recipe
If your Scouts need a chocolate marshmallow fix, but you don’t have a fire for some reason, you can fix smacos on a camp stove with a griddle.
Easy Halloween Crafts, Snacks, and Games
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.
