Do you know an Arrow of Light (5th grade) Cub Scout?

All AoLs and their parents are invited to the Meridian District AoL Night this Thursday starting at 7pm in the G*e Ranch Middle School MPR!

Come and meet the Scouts (and Scoutmasters) from every Troop in the Meridian District. Hear why Scouts love their Troop. Learn about coming adventures… and about events your AoL can participate in!

The coming months will be a blast for your AoL… every troop will be hosting multiple events that will showcase what makes them unique. These events will allow your AoL to get to know Scouts in multiple troops so that he/she can pick the “best” troop to bridge into come February!!

Help us grow our Merit Badge Sponsor community.

We're looking for businesses that believe in preparing young people for the future.

Do you know a company that:
✔ Invests in the community?
✔ Supports youth programs?
✔ Values leadership and education?

If so, we'd love to connect with them.

A simple introduction from a fellow Scouter can open the door to new partnerships that benefit Scouts for years to come. Learn more about the program and see our current Merit Badge Sponsors.

We're fortunate to have a community of Scouters who are connected to businesses across the Bay Area and beyond.

If someone in your network is looking for a meaningful way to give back, we'd love to introduce them to our Merit Badge Sponsorship Program.

Every new sponsor helps strengthen the experiences we can provide to Scouts while building lasting partnerships with organizations that care about youth development.
