Mission Peak Yo-Yo Day postponed to a new date in the Fall
|
|
|
Due to a lack of volunteers, we are having to push back the Mission Peak Yo-Yo Day to a date in the fall. Scouting America is not run by one or two people; it is run by a community of volunteers. Please reach out and volunteer for future events if you want them to succeed!

Topics include the aims and methods of scouting, troop organization, the patrol method, the patrol leader’s council, how to organize and help plan a great scouting program, how to promote fun and successful troop campouts, training youth leadership, membership and finances, calendar planning, the advancement program, and other topics. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED IN-PERSON vs online.
