Tonight, I met with Webelos Scouts from Pack 247 to discuss citizenship and public service. I am always impressed by the questions and suggestions our Scouts offer when I visit!

🏁 That’s a Wrap on the Pinewood Derby! 🏎️

A huge congratulations to all our scouts for a fantastic showing at our annual Pinewood Derby yesterday.

Watching those cars fly down the track was thrilling, but the real highlight was seeing the hard work and sportsmanship on display. Whether your car broke a speed record or took a more "scenic" route to the finish line, we are so proud of every scout for doing their best.

We were blown away by the imagination this year! From sleek racers to creative designs that showed off your unique personalities, the craftsmanship was top-notch. It’s clear that a lot of "sweat equity" (and maybe a little bit of graphite) went into making this year’s fleet the best one yet.

A Big Thank You To:
The Scouts: For your hard work and great attitudes.
The Families:For the hours spent in the garage helping bring these designs to life.
The Volunteers:For keeping the track running smoothly and the energy high!

Check out some of the highlights from the day below! 👇 📸

⚜️ From Blue to Tan: Congratulations to Our Bridging AOLs! ⚜️
Today, we watched our Arrow of Light Scouts take their final steps across the bridge from Cub Scouts and into their new Scouts BSA Troops. While we are sad to see them go, we couldn't be prouder of the leaders they’ve become!

From their very first Tiger meetings to earning the highest rank in Cub Scouting, these Scouts have built more than just projects—they’ve built lifelong friendships. We’ve watched them:

Master the Outdoors: From shivering through early spring campouts to mastering the perfect golden-brown marshmallow.

Build & Create: Racing Pinewood Derby cars, building birdhouses, and tackling STEM projects that tested their grit and creativity.

Lead with Character: Serving their community and learning that "Helping Other People at All Times" isn't just a slogan, it’s a way of life.

To the Troops receiving these Scouts: You are getting an incredible group of young people. They are prepared, they are eager, and they are ready for the bigger mountains (and bigger backpacks!) that await them.

To our new Scouts: Remember, once a member of the pack, always a member of the pack. You are always welcome back to visit, share your new skills, or tell us about your latest high-adventure trip.

Go do great things. We’ll be rooting for you from the campfire! 🏕️✨
