Scouts and Scout units are invited to participate in the “International Scouts Trash the Trash Day" on July 11. This is an international Messengers of Peace project for Scouts, and a permanent uniform patch is available. Trash the Trash Day challenges Scouts to pick up at least 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) of trash per person. This is a great opportunity for Scouts to show their dedication to the environment and participate in a global good turn.

On May 27th we held a Virtual Friends of Scouting presentation.  I want to thank all of those in attendance who made a financial investment to support the National Capital Area Council. Your contribution ensures that we can keep Scouting strong for more than 60,000 local participants. 

The National Capital Area Council is presenting a wealth of fun Scouting activities this summer.  See the attached flyer to learn more about game nights, Fourth of July activities, online merit badges, service projects, STEM events, adventure talks, and leadership training.  These activities are open to all Scouts (including some events specifically targeted to Cub Scouts and Venturers). 

Join us for our regular Troop Meeting this Wednesday online at 7PM. 

On behalf of Venture Crew 1345, we'd like to invite you to join our TEDv series. You've all probably heard of TEDx, and know that they are a series of informative talks about a wide range of subjects. Our TEDv series will be a chance for our Venturers to share topics they are interested in with you in the form of an interactive Zoom lecture led by a subject expert.

While we may not be able to do in person summer camp this year, we would like to make everyone aware of some BSA virtual camp options. At this time we are leaving it up to individual families to decide if and when they would like to particiapte in virtual summer camp, we are not planning to participate as a troop.
