The River Trails District leadership is extremely proud of Scout Mason Hirtz and the dedication, leadership, and service he demonstrated through his Eagle Scout Project.

Here’s some clarity on the Safeguarding Youth Training:

🎓 Old YPT (no 90-minute course completed)?
➡️ Full 90-minute course required

⏰ 90-minute course expired more than 6 days ago?
➡️ Full 90-minute course required

🔄 90-minute course expired 6 days or less OR still active?
➡️ Refresher course assigned

📧 Renewal emails will direct participants to “My Training”, where they can select “Take Course” or “Retake Course”. The system will automatically guide them to the correct training based on their status.

⚠️ Important note - Anyone who has completed only the refresher without ever completing the full 90-minute course will still need to complete the full course. Clearing the browser cache may be necessary to ensure the “Retake Course” button routes correctly.

Camp Arrowhead needs a helping hand!

We have two shelters that need to be completed before Summer Camp begins on June 7th. The posts are already set, so the remaining work is building the roof structures. A team of volunteers with construction experience could likely complete each shelter in about 4–5 hours.

All materials and supplies are already at camp, we just need some willing hands and construction knowledge to help us get them finished.

If you or someone you know may be able to help, please reach out to Chris Legg or Mark Peterman for details.

Thank you for helping us prepare Camp Arrowhead for another great summer of Scouting!

Troop 149 represented the Ozark Trails Council today at the Missouri Veteran's Cemetery and they had a chance to meet St. Robert Mayor, James Breckinridge and also Missouri Governor and Silver Beaver Recipient, Governor Mike Kehoe.

Today, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our nation.

Memorial Day is more than the start of summer, it is a day of gratitude, reflection, and remembrance. As Scouts and Scouters, we are reminded of the values of duty, service, and citizenship that so many Americans have upheld through the ultimate sacrifice.

We encourage our Scouting families to take a moment today to remember those who never returned home, to reflect on the freedoms we enjoy because of their courage, and to honor their legacy through acts of service in our communities.

May we never forget those who gave everything for our country.

Scouting America Military Family Fee Waiver

Effective June 1, 2026, Scouting America is expanding access to Scouting for military-connected youth by waiving the $85 national youth registration fee for eligible families. This program applies to youth members only and is available for both new and renewing online registrations. The initiative is funded nationally through philanthropic efforts.

Eligible families include those with current service in the Active Duty, Reserve, or National Guard. The waiver covers only the national youth registration fee, reducing the $85 cost to $0 after the required verification and discount code process is completed. Local council fees, unit dues, optional add-ons such as Scout Life magazine, and processing fees may still apply.

To receive the waiver, families should select “Get Military Discount Code” during the online registration process, complete the verification steps, receive the verification code, and enter it at checkout. Once the code is applied, the national registration fee is reduced to $0.

Scouting America notes that the $85 fee may initially appear during checkout but will be removed after the verification code is entered. The waiver is available only for online registrations.
