University of Scouting Rescheduled, Sep 27

The cancelled January 2025 University of Scouting will now take place on Saturday, September 27 at Region 10 and Camp Wisdom.  If you registered for the original January date, you will be transferred to the September 27 training and do not need to re-register.  

If you were previously registered to last January's cancelled University of Scouting you do not need to do anything. You will transfer all registrations on July 21, and you will receive a confirmation email with a link to your new registration. Classes will transfer with you unless one of your classes cannot be offered at the September session. We will transfer your booking before the site opens for additional registrations.

If you are part of the Commissioner College, the Commissioner College has moved to January 10, 2026, and will not be taking place during University of Scouting. 

Merit Badge Pamphlets Now Free  

The free public PDF version of all merit badge pamphlets is now available online here:  https://www.scouting.org/skills/merit-badges/all/  . This is part of a program to transition towards a comprehensive Scouting digital platform.  

Rotary Flag Fundraiser Opportunities 

The Rotary Flag Lease campaign is in full swing. We are ramping up to have almost 6000 flags across McKinney this year. Rotary clubs and Scouting units have  had a tremendous partnership over the years. We are currently looking to bring on MORE units this year to help with their fundraising efforts.

If you are a unit (troop, pack, etc) that could use help with fundraising and has the desire to commit to a flag route this year, we are looking for helpers. Currently I will need help with about 8-10 routes this year, if you know anyone interested?

One flag route typically averages about 65 flags to pass out and return a few days later. We do this 5 times a year. We contribute $3 per flag, per holiday for fundraising. So, a unit could wind up earning around $1,000 per year, per route, as a donation from us.

If you know anyone interested, please send them my way. Hoping to help some folks out this year. Thank you for your time, looking forward to seeing you soon.
