There are only a few spots left for this year's Operation North Star!

Our premier youth leadership training course runs the full week and puts scouts through an experience unlike any other! This is not your usual Summer Camp. NYLT is fully youth led and teaches skills that benefit the scouts, the troops that the scouts are a part of, and the future endeavors of each scout. Leadership skills, management skills, communication skills, overcoming adversity and leading the change are just a few of the concepts worked through on course in a scout-friendly environment.

Don't let the summer slip away! Sign up now - https://scoutingevent.com/397-NYLT2026

Great opportunity to earn service hours!!

Canal Days is THIS WEEKEND, and we need your help representing Scouting in the community!

This popular Fairport event brings families from across the Finger Lakes and Rochester area, making it a great opportunity to share Scouting with the public in a friendly, low-pressure way. We’ll be helping kids have fun, answering questions, and sharing information about programs across the council.

This is not a hard-sell recruiting event. It’s about being visible, creating positive interactions, and showing families that Scouting is active, welcoming, and part of their community.

If you enjoy meeting people and helping Scouting make a strong impression, we’d love to have you volunteer at Canal Days.

Scout Night at the Rochester Red Wings is almost here!

Join us on Friday, June 12 at 6:45 p.m. for a night at the ballpark with Scouts, families, and friends from across the council.

After the game, Scouts can roll out their sleeping bags and camp overnight right on the field. There will even be a movie before lights out, making this a ballpark adventure from first pitch to sunrise.

Bring your tent, bring your Scout spirit, and get ready for a night under the stadium lights. ⚾⛺
