Thank you, Sarah Bernardo who completed her Eagle Scout project and thought to help Sub Zero Mission. She raised funds for, went to local libraries to inform people of her project, and completed the assembly and making of over 200 winter hats in a little over two months.

March is Women's History Month.

When no male leaders volunteered to lead Troop 13 of Milford, Conn., Catherine Pollard stepped up. She served as the troop’s unofficial Scoutmaster from 1973 to 1975, according to the Associated Press. Under her leadership, Troop 13 more than tripled in size and produced five Eagle Scouts.

However, her status as the top adult volunteer in Troop 13 wasn’t formalized until February 1988, when the BSA eliminated gender restrictions on all volunteer positions. Pollard, who was 69 at the time, put on her old uniform and returned to her post—this time officially. Since then, hundreds of women have served as Scoutmasters.

Today, we celebrate Catherine Pollard, Scouting America's first official female Scoutmaster.

Wow are we behind on posting. It’s been quite the busy year for our scouts!
Today we celebrated our scouting Sunday at Painesville Zion Lutheran Church. Some of our scouts worked with B-troop and presented flags and pledge to open service.
Thank you to all who were able to come out this year!

Jakayla Armstrong broke barriers as Alabama’s first black female Eagle Scout, a rare achievement in the Boy Scouts where only about 5% reached this prestigious rank. Despite initial doubts, she embraced challenges like fishing and rifle shooting at scout camp, paving the way for girls since they were admitted in 2019. Now a freshman at the University of Alabama, Jakayla aims to continue breaking barriers beyond scouting.

Two of our G-troop leaders and 1 B-troop leader officially a level 1 trainer.
Amazing course that also offered a skills version for youth. Fantastic course for any leader but especially for scouts in the Outdoor Ethics position, like one of the boys.

This past weekend Scouters took a deep dive into the seven principles of Leave No Trace and best practices for implementing them in a hands-on environment, including how to teach them to others. Upon successful course completion, they graduated as a certified Leave No Trace Level 1 Instructors. Congrats!
