We had a great time at the Forest Hills 5K! Our Cubs (and a few alumni now in Scouting America Troop 112) started the race day with a flag ceremony. At the booth, magnet fishing proved once again to be a big hit!

Celebrating 100 years of Sir David Attenborough — broadcaster, natural historian, writer, and lifelong champion of nature, exploration, and curiosity. 🌍⚜️

Many people don’t realise that Sir David was a Cub Scout, Scout, and later a Senior Scout in his youth. Those early adventures in Scouting helped nurture the curiosity, resilience, and love of the natural world that would inspire generations throughout his remarkable life and career.

Reflecting on his time in Scouting, Sir David once said:

“I remember my time as a Wolf Cub very well indeed. We learned a lot of useful things and had a great deal of fun. I hope you all do too.”

Through Scouting, young people continue to experience adventure, friendship, learning, and discovery firsthand — building confidence and a lifelong respect for the world around them.

Thank you, Sir David, for a century of inspiration and for encouraging generations to explore, discover, and protect our planet. Happy 100th Birthday! 🌱

We know, the videos are rough to watch and think about. But, this is why we do it: to empower our Scouts and help them stay safe.

“Lion’s Roar teaches our youngest Scouts how to recognize safe and unsafe situations and develop personal boundaries,” says Tara Noem, parent and Tiger Den Leader for Cub Scout Pack 367. “It also teaches what to do if those boundaries are crossed - yell, run away and tell a trusted adult.”

Youth safety is paramount - whether it’s at a activity or anywhere outside of . Safeguarding youth is a shared responsibility - supported by parents, reinforced by leaders and taught in age‑appropriate ways to youth, themselves.

Recently, a news segment was released about a Cub Scout's heroic actions in Ohio (the quote at the beginning of this post is from that piece). We are proud of the Cub Scout featured in this video. In a frightening situation, she used the personal‑safety skills she had been taught in and immediately alerted her mom. You can watch full news segment online: https://ow.ly/Gkfp50YTEJ5.

“Dangerous situations involving strangers are rare, but they do occur and often end terribly," says Glen Pounder, EVP and Chief Safeguarding Officer of Scouting America. "Remaining vigilant in all circumstances - and empowering children early with simple, age‑appropriate safety skills - is a critical part of prevention."
