First-Ever Scouts BSA SPL Summit — October 25!
Scouts BSA is launching the first-ever Senior Patrol Leader Summit, giving youth leaders from troops across the country a direct opportunity to connect, share ideas, and help shape the future of Scouts BSA.

October 25, 2026
Zoom
7:00–7:30 PM local time

Four identical sessions will be offered at 7:00 PM Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific, and Scouts may attend whichever session works best for their schedule.

Each troop is invited to have its Senior Patrol Leader—or another designated Scout—participate.

During the Summit, Scouts will have an opportunity to:
• Share what’s working—and what could be better—in their troop experience
• Exchange ideas with Scouts from across the country
• Hear about upcoming Scouts BSA programs and opportunities
• Provide feedback directly to national Scouts BSA leadership

Scouting happens locally, and the troop experience should help shape the program nationally.

Scoutmasters: watch your email. Registration information will be sent to Scoutmasters approximately one month before the Summit to share with their SPL or designated youth participant.

Encourage your SPL to take advantage of this new opportunity to make their voice heard!

Hello everyone! I just wanted to reach out to check in on how you are all doing after the storm. I know it was a scary time for a lot of us. A lot of communities have had things offered like meals and charging stations but I fear as many areas are having power restored that help is going to decline and there may be some of you that still need assistance. If you need help or know of anyone in your units—food, cleanup, transportation, or anything else—please speak up. I would be happy to help myself and also spread the word to get others to help. I know you all are always doing things for others but please if you are the one in need of help this time let us help you!

I am sorry this message is coming days after everything. I was focused on what we needed to do and helping out in Westville (my town). And like some of you - I am still without power..... but with a generator so we are doing good.

I appreciate you all so very much!
Dana
