Congratulations to these Eagle Scouts! And congratulations to the Avon Grove Charter School Class of 2025!

We are incredibly proud of 6 of our seniors who earned the rare distinction of Eagle Scout rank this year!

This rank is something only 6% of scouts attain after serving in multiple leadership roles in their troop, earning 21 or more merit badges, and contributing to the community with a service project. Together, these 6 gentleman gave over 700 hours of community service!

Today we reflect, remember and celebrate the lives of the men and women of this country who were willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to ensure our freedoms.

Memorial Day is often associated with the start of summer, discount sales and cookouts with friends. But you have the power to educate those around you and take a few moments to pay tribute to the fallen while still enjoying the sunshine and outdoors.

Here are a few ideas:

1) Participate in the National Moment of Remembrance at 3:00pm

2) Visit a military cemetery or memorial

3) Display the U.S. flag at your home

NEW REQUIRED TRAINING: SAFEGUARDING YOUTH

Announced at the Scouting America National Annual Meeting, the new Safeguarding Youth training is now live and mandatory for all registered adult volunteers. It's also a joining requirement for new adult members.

Course details: 90-minute duration, available in English and Spanish, access through my.scouting.org and requirements are to complete all lessons and score 80% or higher on the final test.

After completing the full course once, a 15-minute refresher and retest is required each year to stay current.

If you have already completed Youth Protection Training (YPT) your certification remains valid for 1 year from your completion date.

If you're currently taking YPT, you have less than one week to finish it. After that, it will no longer be available, and the new Safeguarding Youth training will be required.

YOUTH PROTECTION IS AT THE HEART OF EVERYTHING WE DO. This updated training reinforces a culture of active supervision, situational awareness, and safety, ensuring we're all equipped to help keep our Scouts safe.
