❤️ National CPR & AED Awareness Week ❤️

In an emergency, knowing what to do can make all the difference.

During National CPR & AED Awareness Week, we encourage everyone to take a few minutes to learn or refresh their lifesaving skills. CPR and AED training can help you respond confidently when every second counts.

Scouting teaches preparedness, leadership, and helping others—and those values extend to emergency situations where quick action can save a life.

✅ Learn CPR
✅ Know where AEDs are located in your community
✅ Be prepared to help when it matters most

Together, we can build safer communities, one trained responder at a time.

As temperatures rise, it’s important to stay safe while enjoying the outdoors. Whether you're hiking, camping, at the ballfield, or just spending time outside, remember these heat safety tips:

💧 Drink plenty of water
🧢 Wear lightweight clothing and a hat
🌳 Take breaks in the shade
☀️ Use sunscreen often
⚠️ Know the signs of heat exhaustion

Summer adventures are more fun when everyone stays safe and healthy!

Today, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Their courage, dedication, and selflessness will never be forgotten.

As we gather with family and friends this Memorial Day, let us also take a moment to reflect on the freedoms we enjoy because of those who gave everything to protect them.

From all of us at Scouting, thank you to our fallen heroes and the families who carry their legacy forward. ❤️🤍💙

Behind every campfire, Pinewood Derby, hike, service project, and smiling Scout is a volunteer who made it possible.

During National Volunteer Week, we want to say THANK YOU to the incredible volunteers who give their time, talents, and heart to Scouting. From den leaders and committee members to merit badge counselors and event volunteers — your dedication helps shape the next generation of leaders.
