What a month for Scouting in Washington Crossing Council!

Over the past several weeks, hundreds of community members, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters joined us for four incredible events: the Tohickon Builders of Community Reception, the Hunterdon Leadership Award Reception, the Spring Mill Golf Classic, and the Newtown Breakfast.

Along the way, we had the opportunity to recognize Scott Fleischer for his service to Point Pleasant and our region's emergency services, honor James Hughes for his leadership and community impact, welcome more than 100 golfers to support Scouting, and hear unforgettable stories from Merrill Reese, the Voice of the Eagles.

Most importantly, these events helped strengthen the partnerships and support that make Scouting possible for thousands of young people across our council.

Thank you to our volunteer committees, sponsors, donors, and everyone who attended. Your support continues to make a difference in the lives of local youth.

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. ❤️
