Leadership and life skills, wrapped into an outdoor based program. These are the hallmarks of Scouting America

📊 New Eagle Scout Study Released

Scouting America has released a major new research study:
“Eagle Scouts: A Legacy of Values-Based Leadership and Service.”

Conducted by The Harris Poll, the study examined the long-term impact of Scouting and the Eagle Scout experience on leadership, service, character, well-being, and civic engagement.

Among the findings:
⭐ 99% of Eagle Scouts say Scouting had a positive influence on their lives
⭐ Eagle Scouts report higher levels of leadership, purpose, gratitude, and community involvement
⭐ Non-Scouts overwhelmingly recognize the positive impact Scouting has on youth and society

The study also found Eagle Scouts are more likely to:
✔ Volunteer and lead in their communities
✔ Value honesty, responsibility, and service
✔ Maintain strong family and community relationships
✔ Spend time outdoors and practice environmental stewardship
✔ Live by the values found in the Scout Oath and Law

🌎 This research highlights the lasting impact Scouting can have on young people, families, and communities.

Yesterday, Scouts from Troop 671 as well as Troop 451 in Grayslake participated in the 69th annual Des Plaines River Canoe & Kayak Marathon. In total, there were 5 teams registered in the youth division and Scouts took home 2nd and 3rd place! And there were some really loud toads, which naturally the Scouts needed to capture....

Congrats to Erik M & Zack M and Ruckus the Dog for your 2nd place finish!
Congrats to Eli C & Mira W for your 3rd place finish!

The marathon has Scouting roots - Ralph Frese, longtime owner of the Chicagoland Canoe Base, Scoutmaster, and merit badge counselor, originated the marathon 69 years ago. After a long winter of teaching Canoeing Merit Badge and helping some Scouts from area troops build their own canoes, a race was held so the Scouts could then use the canoes and skills they recently acquired. Now, almost 70 years later the race continues as an ACA sanctioned race.
