6a011168d129d3970c012876ccaf8f970c-800wi Historical Merit Badges help Boy Scouts Celebrate Scouting’s Past

Bill Evans, Youth Development team leader with the BSA, tells Cracker Barrel, a featured column in Scouting Magazine, that these merit badges will count as electives for rank advancement.

On January 13th, 2010, Bill Evans, the Youth Development team leader with the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America, has announced that four discontinued merit badges will be brought back as part of the Centennial Celebration of Scouting. Effective January 15, 2010, Scouts will be able to earn the Signaling (1910), Tracking (1911), Pathfinding (1911), and Carpentry (1911) Merit Badges. These merit badges were all introduced in the early years of Scouting in the United States, these merit badges will return to the ?retired list? after December 31, 2010.

Polar Bear Swim Postponed

Posted on January 28th, 2010 by MichaelVernon

Lonesome Pine,

After much deliberation and talk with other leaders, we are going to have to postpone the Polar Bear Swim until a later date. Despite the beautiful weather we are experiencing at the moment- the winter storm watch is pretty severe and we can’t risk anyone getting hurt to come to a Cub Scout event. It’s what’s in the best interest of the boys, as I’m sure you all understand.

I’m currently working with Johnson Co. H.S. on an alternate date, but one has not been secured yet. February 20th is what we’re shooting for however. I know this will undoubtedly throw a wrench in some of your pack plans, particulary in relation to your Pinewood Derby’s, but we have to work with what we’re dealt.

Please don’t hesitate to call/email if you have any questions.
