Eagles! Show your pride!

Earning the Eagle Scout rank was never just about the badge — it was about the lessons, the leadership, the service, and the growth that shaped who I am today. 🦅
Now, the National Eagle Scout Association is helping us bring that legacy into the digital world. With NESA Digital Badging, Eagle Scouts can proudly display their accomplishments on LinkedIn, email signatures, resumes, and more.

It’s a powerful way to share the values we live by: leadership, service, citizenship, and continuous learning.
If you’re an Eagle, elevate your professional presence and show your Eagle pride.

Adventure starts somewhere. Sometimes it starts with a hike, a campfire, a Pinewood Derby car, or a new group of friends.

Cub Scouts gives kids the chance to explore, build confidence, and discover what they’re capable of — all while having fun along the way.

If your family has been thinking about Scouts, this is your sign to check it out.

Today, we celebrate the moms, grandmoms, stepmoms, and mother figures who help make Scouting possible every single day.

From campouts and committee meetings to late night uniform prep and cheering from the sidelines, thank you for the countless ways you support adventure, growth, and the next generation of leaders.

Happy Mother’s Day from Scouting America, Washington Crossing Council. ❤️
