Scouting America is proud to announce the official launch of the new Liberty in Action: 250th Anniversary Challenge, a special program celebrating the values, service, and civic spirit that define our nation and our Scouts.

This is an opportunity for all Scouts and their families in all programs.

Beginning Monday, March 2, Scouts across the country can earn the Liberty in Action 250th Challenge patch by participating in activities that highlight patriotism, community service, responsible citizenship, and an understanding of the principles that shape our democracy. The program empowers Scouts to connect with their communities, learn about the responsibilities of citizenship, and take meaningful action that reflects the ideals of liberty, leadership, and service.
The Liberty in Action 250th Anniversary Challenge gives Scouts a powerful way to deepen their understanding of what it means to contribute to their communities and country. This initiative encourages young people to translate our shared values into actions that make a real difference.
About the Liberty in Action Patch
The Liberty in Action patch can be earned by completing a set of age‑appropriate activities such as:
-- Participating in a community service project
-- Learning about local, state, or national government
-- Exploring historical landmarks or events connected to American liberty
-- Demonstrating good citizenship within their unit, school, or neighborhood

Councils and units may also organize special events throughout the year to support Scouts pursuing this recognition.

The launch of the Liberty in Action 250th Anniversary Challenge reinforces Scouting America’s commitment to preparing young people for lives of leadership, civic responsibility, and purpose. By engaging Scouts in hands‑on learning and service, the program helps cultivate the next generation of informed, active citizens.
