Attention Scouters!

This is a reminder to sign up for the 2022 Memorial Day Flag Placement on Saturday, May 28. This will allow you and your youth to be part of a now almost 50-year tradition with MTC! It is a great way to show that appreciation and commemorate those who served and continue to serve our nation. This is a great event with community leaders and news coverage will take part with the Scouts in placing flags at over 200,000 graves throughout the Middle Tennessee Council.

If you have registered to join us in placing flags on the graves of soldiers who so sacrificially served, please dress in Class A uniform. It is optional but highly encourage your unit to bring a screwdriver or a poker to help plant flags into the ground if the ground is dry and tough!

For any questions or more information, please visit https://scoutingevent.com/560-56320 or contact Andrew Weisbrot at aweisbrot@mtcbsa.org 

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.

Scout Parents and Volunteers: Our exciting Adventure Camp will be starting in less than a month for our initial camp weeks! Rocketing into base camps throughout the council, our Space Odyssey themed Adventure Camps will provide tons of fun-filled memories. Scouts who will be entering first through fifth grades will have the opportunity to participate in numerous FUN activities at Adventure Camp which may include shooting bb’s, sling shots and archery equipment, playing games, field sports, participating in arts and crafts, nature and other activities unique to Cub Scouting!

Please continue to promote Adventure Camps in your packs, districts, and communities. We look forward to seeing our Scouts and parents at Adventure Camp this summer and having a Space Odyssey blast!

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 will be playing those retro games on the big screens in the dining hall.

Calling all Webelos II Scouts and Parents, Camp is almost here and we want to make sure we are on your calendar for this summer. Summer Camp at Boxwell Reservation is a great way to kick start your Scouting experience in the program. Camp offers a first-year program to help Scouts earn their first rank and still allow Scouts to earn a few merit badges as well. If you want more information about what the program can do for your Scouts at Boxwell Reservation, please call our Camping Director Jason Flannery at 615-294-0865 as he can show you the way. 

Scouts BSA Summer Camp is a few weeks away and we are so excited. This year’s 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 let us know and we will get you 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.

You sign up like you do for Merit Badge Dayz, but the program is different from a traditional Scout Merit Badge Dayz.

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.
