Great Scouting experiences should be within reach of every Scout. But how do we make sure we're creating opportunities where Scouts with differing abilities can participate, grow, and thrive?

Join us at the Iron & Embers Leadership Summit for a conversation on Supporting Scouts with Differing Abilities, led by Sarah Wyatt.

And the conversations don't have to end when the session does!

We'll also make time for fun and fellowship at the ranges and COPE area. It's a chance to connect with fellow leaders, share experiences, and enjoy a little time together at camp.

🔥 November 14 | Camp Davy Crockett

Bring your stories. Bring your ideas. We'll bring the campfire!

Registration closes November 6.

🔥 **YOU KNOW THE AFTER-MEETING MEETING.**

The Scouts have gone home. The building is mostly empty. Someone is still holding a half-finished cup of coffee. And somehow, the leaders are still sitting around talking.

“We should probably talk about next month…”

“Did anyone figure out what happened with that?”

“Wait, what if we tried…?”

And then, 45 minutes later, you realize you’ve spent more time talking to the other adults than you did during the actual meeting. 😂

**That’s the After-Meeting Meeting.**

And honestly? It might be one of the best parts of Scouting.

**Iron & Embers is basically an entire day dedicated to it.** A chance for Scouters to step away from the weekly rush, sit around with other leaders, talk about the stuff that actually matters, swap ideas, solve problems, tell stories, and—just as importantly—**connect with other adults who get it.**

🔥 **November 14 | 9 AM–5 PM**
📍 **Camp Davy Crockett**

Come for the conversation. Stay for the fellowship. And maybe, just maybe, we’ll manage to end the meeting on time.
