Congratulations to our newest members of Troop 781. Though a little late, they were finally able to attend their crossover ceremony from Cub Scouts to Scouts BSA. We’re excited to see what kind of adventures scouting holds for them.

Scouting America has four High Adventure bases that scouts can travel to with their units. I can already hear the scouts saying "best summer ever"

For the first time since 2019, we have a crew headed from our Atikokan, Ontario base to our Ely, MN base. This trip is called and A to E trip and can also be done in reverse (E to A).

Wish this crew luck as they paddle from North to South through the Quetico Provincial Park.

Here are a few fun facts about Scouting America.

1)Neil Armstrong, the first man to ever set foot on the moon, holds the impressive honor of being an Eagle Scout. His declaration, “The Eagle has landed,” wasn’t only referring to his spacecraft! In the year 1969, Armstrong achieved another notable milestone by becoming the first Eagle Scout to be featured on a U.S. postage stamp. It was aptly named, “The Man on the Moon.”

2)During both World War I and II, Scouts were actively encouraged to star what were known as “victory gardens.” These gardens served a dual purpose: easing food shortages and making a valuable contribution to the overall war effort.

3)The Scout handshake is done with the left hand, symbolizing trust and friendship.

4)The Boy Scouts of America played a role in promoting conservation early on, with President Theodore Roosevelt serving as the organization’s honorary president from 1910 to 1915.

5)In 1972, the BSA broadened its membership by introducing girls through the establishment of the “Exploring” program. Subsequently, in 2019, girls were accepted into all BSA programs.

Good morning!

I am trying to gather some history of our local Boy Scout Troops. I am looking for names of those who have earned the rank of Eagle Scout and the year, a timeline of when troops / posts were active, Newpaper articles, and stories.
