Simon Kenton Council is hiring a part-time ScoutReach Program Aide in Columbus, Ohio.

ScoutReach brings Scouting to youth who might not otherwise have access to the program. As a Program Aide, you'd run weekly meetings for an assigned Cub Scout Pack from September through May, working directly with kids on STEM activities, environmental projects, fitness, and community involvement. Hours range from 4 to 20 per week at $13/hour, with possible summer hours depending on your Pack's plans.

What you need: a high school diploma, a clean background check, reliable transportation, and comfort working with children. Scouting experience and bilingual skills are a plus, but neither is required.

To apply, send your resume to [email protected].

Welcome to the team, Jake Stein!

Jake is SKC's new Membership Coordinator for the Polaris District, working to grow Scouting across central Ohio. He will be focusing on new units, new troops, and more kids in the program.

He's an Eagle Scout, Philmont Ranger, NYLT Staff Member, and OA member. He's back because Scouting gave him opportunities he still talks about, and he wants to do that for someone else.

His words: "I love working at Simon Kenton Council because it gives me an opportunity to give back to the community I was a part of during my Scouting career, which gave me the opportunity to be in the position I am in today."

Give Jake a welcome in the comments!

Today, we remember the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

There's a reason Scouts learn how to handle a flag the right way. How to fold it properly, how to place one at a veteran's grave. Those moments stick with you.

We remember, and we are grateful.

Bailey built a home. Just not for people.

When Bailey started thinking about an Eagle Scout project, they knew one thing: it had to be for the environment.

After building small bat house kits for conservation hours, Bailey thought, why not go bigger? A connection through the Ohio Department of Natural Resources pointed the way: build a bat condo for Blacklick Woods Metro Park.

What followed was months of planning, problem-solving, and community. Unclear blueprints led to finding a master woodworker to tackle compound roof angles. A revolving door of beneficiary contacts required patience and persistence. And when the finished structure turned out to be too large for just a few people to move, the community showed up.

On build days, volunteers filled the site. Grandma brought the food. Scoutmaster Ms. Patty provided the land and helped haul the finished condo to the park. Brian Altiere brought the woodworking expertise. Muth Roofing donated materials. Scouts, friends, and family gave their time, tools, and dollars.

The bat condo now stands at Blacklick Woods Metro Park, ready to support the local bat population.

Bailey put it best: "I'm most proud of how smooth the build days went. There were plenty of supplies, materials, and volunteers, and even the weather cooperated."

This is what Scouting looks like in central Ohio.

We're excited to welcome Kurt Tekaucic as the new Camp Ranger at Camp Lazarus!

Kurt is no stranger to Camp Lazarus. Before he had a title, he was already a part of the Lazarus Properties Committee, the Worker Bee Program at Camp Falling Rock, and adult training when they needed a hand. His Order of the Arrow Vigil Honor name describes the approach pretty well: "If it is broken, he will fix it better than it was."

He spent over 30 years as an Auto and Diesel Technician at Ford. You learn to find the problem and fix it right. It's a good way to think about maintaining a camp.

He grew up in Massillon, Ohio and earned his Eagle with Troop 933 in Buckeye Council. Came to Columbus for Ohio State, same as his father. Scouting came along for the ride. Wood Badge. District Commissioner. District Award of Merit. Years as Vice Chief of Administration Advisor for Tecumseh Lodge. He's been on Troop 332's committee since 2016, counseling Merit Badges and handling whatever logistics needed handling.

Kurt and his wife Mary have been married for almost 23 years. He has three kids, including his youngest, Zane, who earned his Eagle with Troop 332. Outside of Scouting, he runs with a model railroad club in Worthington, rides Harleys, and gets outside whenever he can.

Welcome, Kurt!
