At Nashville National Cemetery, more than 1,200 people came out including businesses and we placed flags on all 36,000 grave markers in under an hour! The News coverage and Media presence were great, and our youth gave some honorable interviews. Many hands make light work! The Middle Tennessee Council is so glad to partake in these events honoring the men & women that gave their lives to protect our freedom. We cannot wait till next year and do it bigger than this year!

NYLT is an exciting, action-packed program designed to provide youth members of the Boy Scouts of America with leadership skills and experiences that they can use in their home unit and in other situations demanding quality leadership. This training integrates the best of modern leadership theory with Scouting through activities, presentations, challenges, while engaged in a unified approach to leadership. Using a wide range of activities events, games, and adventure, participants put into action the leadership skills they are learning.

Family Scouting at Cubworld is such a unique opportunity for our Cub families to enjoy camp. What you need to bring: clothing, water bottles, and toiletries as we provide the rest for you. We provide a cot, tent, food and a quality fun program with an exciting campfire at the end. This year’s theme is GAME ON! It’s a retro video game theme for camp as you and your family will be able see Donkey Kong, Link, Mario and Luigi, Pac man and more. We will be playing those retro games on the big screens in the dining hall. Cub Scouts will be able to earn 4 activity pins, play some fun games, shoot bbs, archery, sling shot, ride in a boat, go canoeing, fishing and more. We also have a Fort, Native American Village, Castle and two Pirate Ships on the lake. We are super excited to see you and your family here at Boxwell Reservation for our Family Scouting program.

This year's Scouts BSA Summer Camp theme will have that 80’s feel of loud colors, extreme fashion, sky high hair, forever defining music and lot of fun. The staff has created a plan for you and your Scouts to have a radical time at camp this year. If you haven’t signed up to go to camp, please contact the camping department at camping@mtcbsa.org.

Don’t forget if you want to go to camp for two weeks, you can, and if your Scout Troop is going some where else or at a time you cannot go that’s ok! You can come as a provisional Scout and we will take care of the leadership for you.

Latimer High Adventure weekend, October 28-30, 2022, is the opportunity to take your Scouting experiences to the next level. You sign up like you do for Merit Badge Dayz, but the program is different from a traditional Scout Merit Badge Dayz. These adventure treks are a two-day themed focused adventure at Latimer Scout Reservation but are not designed to earn a merit badge. Instead, these treks all about having fun, making memories, and getting to experience the great outdoors with other Scouts.

We have treks for biking, conservation, climbing, hiking, and shooting. You will spend the weekend on the plateau and experience all that Tennessee has to offer. The treks are limited, so sign up early. To participate in these treks, A youth must be 14 years of age OR 13 years of age and completed the 8th grade by date of participation.
