Some scouts and friends showed up in the local Old Goodwood Neighborhood recently to help Jacob S. complete his Eagle Scout Project to install some solar lighting, safety painting and beautification of the neighborhood's entrance. Way to soar, Jacob!

Our scouts tried their hands at small boat sailing at Lake McGee at Avondale Scout Reservation in Clinton, LA and cooked up some delicious food despite the wet conditions this weekend.
They learned more about boating safety and figured out how to right a tipped-over boat a few times…and how to fry chicken outdoors!

Yes, indeed! All that hard work is worth it.
Get started! We meet every Wednesday evening from 7-8:30pm year round. Parents, have your children try it out this summer! No Cub Scout experience required. Ages 11-17 are welcome to BE A SCOUT!

🦅 Does becoming an Eagle Scout truly set you apart? A new study by The Harris Poll surveyed thousands of adults to see how Eagle Scouts compare to those who were never in Scouting.

The study: “𝘌𝘢𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘚𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘴: 𝘈 𝘓𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘤𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘝𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘦𝘴-𝘉𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘚𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘦,” shows that Eagle Scouts possess lifelong strengths and a value-based foundation that genuinely sets them apart from their peers.

Dive into the data yourself and see the incredible impact of this research through a new interactive website at scouting.org/about/research/eagle-scout-2026/

This past week at our regular Wednesday meeting, our scouts performed cooking demonstrations using a camp stove and a Dutch oven with charcoal briquettes. No wonder they enjoy camping so much! They make it look easy. The hard part: Waiting!

Effective with the 2026 National Annual Meeting, Scouting America has lowered the minimum age for commissioner registration from 21 to 18.

Young adults who have aged out of the program can now step into a commissioner role right away — staying connected to Scouting and supporting the health of units in their communities. Unit service is one of the most impactful ways a volunteer can serve, and this change means we won't lose passionate Scouters simply because of an age threshold.

It's also worth noting that commissioner registration is the only council- or district-level volunteer registration option available to adults 18–21 years old. Unit service is a natural fit for this age group — college, new jobs, and busy schedules are all part of life at 18, and the flexibility of a commissioner role means volunteers can contribute on a schedule that works for them. Unit commissioners, assistant district commissioners, and assistant council commissioners are great starting points for anyone new to the work.

Our scouts and adult volunteers preparing to travel to Philmont this summer returned to the Kisatchie Hills Wilderness Backbone Trail near Natchitoches, LA, this past weekend to continue their preparations and practice.
They even cooked some jambalaya for a meal along the 15+ miles they hiked! No runaway donkey this time, but the did get to do a good turn by helping to extinguish an abandoned campfire. Great job, explorers!
