Activities for Scouting at Home

Grades K-5 - Grades 6-12 - Adult Leaders

Scouting at Home Series Introduction

When schools and other recreational activities are closed for extended periods, we know that kids and families look for educational and fun activities to do at home. These are great opportunities to review the depth of the Scouting program and work on badges not in your particular unit’s schedule. Remember that any electronic communication involving a youth member must adhere to BSA’s “two-deep” leadership policies, and Scouts should first complete their Cyber Chip to stay safe online.

Be sure to visit this page and our Facebook page often for frequent updates!

 

Scouting at Home programs are offered at no cost to Scouting families and the community at large, but the need for support doesn't go away. If you are able, please consider becoming a Keeper of the Flame.
