Twin Rivers Council, Scouting America

The Twin Rivers Council original semiquincentennial CSP sold out in advance of July 4; we've been getting a lot of emails asking about them. Therefore, we created a Red, White and Blue ghost set variant for those who cannot get enough. Only 250 sets of this ghost set were produced; btw - when these are gone, we're done. Each patch has a mylar border and the fireworks use mylar thread too.
The CSP features Steamboat Willie as well as Steamboat Pete dressed as Uncle Sam (who hailed from the Twin Rivers Council service area). The full set of these three patches is only $50 (less per patch than the first semiquincentennial csp we made). Orders can be made here - https://trcscouting.org/TradingPost/semiquincentennial-red-white-blue-ghost-set-pre-order/

There are 4 elements to the Pathfinder Award process - the Membership Plan, an annual Activity Plan, the Leadership Continuity plan, and theunit budget. Units that have these elements in place are proven to be strong units, effective in their program and membership efforts while maintaining the units longevity and prosperity.

Once submitted, a units application will be reviewed and once approved, all members of the unit, youth and adult, will receive the Pathfinder Award patch. This patch is to be worn on the right sleeve of a Class-A uniform.

In addition, the Pathfinder Award will also benefit all units participating in this years Popcorn sale with an additional 3% commission paid to the unit with the successful approval of the Pathfinder Award application.

This course gives adult leaders the chance to step back, grow their skills, and rediscover why they serve. Through hands-on learning, team-building, reflection, and practical leadership tools, participants leave with a stronger understanding of how to support youth, strengthen units, and lead with purpose.

Many Scouters describe Wood Badge as a turning point in their Scouting journey. It challenges you, inspires you, connects you with other dedicated leaders, and helps you become the kind of leader young people deserve.

Twin Rivers Council Wood Badge 2026 will be held at Camp Wakpominee over two weekends: August 28–30 and September 19–20. Registration closes July 31, 2026.

Take the next step in your Scouting journey. Experience Wood Badge. https://scoutingevent.com/364-102011

Now is the time to step up for local Scouts.
Your support today helps shape tomorrow’s leaders!

A few weeks ago, we shared information about the Twin Rivers Council Parent Giving Program. If you have not yet made a gift, there is still time to make a meaningful impact.

Along the way, Scouts gain confidence, build leadership skills, and form friendships that help shape who they become. These are the moments that define the Scouting experience, and thousands of local youth are developing these same qualities every day.
As we prepare for summer camp, your support helps make these experiences possible for nearly 3,860 youth across our 15-county service area.
Ways to support:
🔴 $100 supports camp programs and maintenance
🔴 $250 supports program supplies and improvements
🔴 $600 sends a Scout to camp
🔴 $1,000 supports programs, facilities, and access
Make your gift today: https://donations.scouting.org/council/364/appeal/9177
Every gift helps create life-changing experiences for local Scouts!
