Join Scouting!
Scouting is more than just an activity—it’s a journey of adventure, learning, and growth at every age. From Cub Scouts to Scouts BSA, young people of all backgrounds can explore the outdoors, dive into STEM, build life skills, and discover their best “future self” — all while having fun along the way. Scouting is for the whole family!
That’s right — Scouting isn’t just for kids. It offers meaningful ways for families to connect, learn, and grow together. Whether you're volunteering with your child’s pack or troop, attending family events, or supporting activities at home, you can choose how involved you'd like to be while helping your child thrive.
Family Adventure Camp
Cub Scout Family Adventure Camp is an overnight camping experience designed to give both new and existing Cub Scouts an exciting adventure at the start and end of the new school year! While at the event, Scouts will get a taste of what Cub Scouting offers through camping, shooting sports, games, fishing, crafts, campfires and spending quality time with their family!
Fund the Fun with the Popcorn Sale
The annual popcorn sale remains an excellent opportunity for Scouts and units to fund their entire Scouting program for the year. With the rising cost of membership fees, a successful popcorn sale is critical to the stability of our units. By utilizing a combination of these sales strategies below and the tried-and-true methods of pre-pandemic sales, Scouts and units have a great opportunity to create success in the popcorn sale this fall.
Renew Your Scouting Registration
If you were new to Scouting last fall, it's time to renew your annual registration! While you likely paid in person at a sign up event or submitted payment to your unit leader, those fees were submitted to the National Council as they collect all registration fees. The renewal process is an easy one that you’ll be able to complete online at my.scouting.org. Click on the link in the email that you received from the National Council to renew the registration. You can also go to my.scouting.org to and click the red notification button on the top right-hand corner.
Training Events
Both youth and adults can level up their leadership skills at an upcoming training event! Whether you attend NYLT as a youth, BALOO or Wood Badge as an adult, there's an upcoming training event for you!
Scouting Ahead This Fall
This latest edition of the Scouting Ahead Guidebook is packed with resources, direction, and recommendations on how to grow your unit, fund your upcoming year of adventures, and explore outdoor adventures. The purpose of the Buckeye Council is to support units, Scouts, leaders, and our families through programs, resources, and guidance. Please use this guide as a foundation of that support and work with your unit commissioner, district leadership, and district executive to build a plan for the fall of 2025 that best suits your unit’s needs.
