Local youth from the area's Packs and Troops have been holding virtual meetings. Also, Scouts are providing community service like picking up trash in their neighborhood and sending communications to folks in nursing homes. Several hundred Scouts are currently working on completing online merit badges scheduled through Zoom. Outstanding volunteers from the Madison and Janesville areas organized and held 2 eCamporees with 500 Scouts & families joining the fun; this included Scouts from Japan, Puerto Rico, the UK, & over 25 different states across America.
