Restart Scouting

The Gateway Area Council is excited to provide to our units the Restarting Scouting information and documentation needed for any unit to re-engage in in-person unit meetings, activities, outings and/or service.

Here is a 5 Step Restart process for all units and registered members/families to follow prior to re-engaging at any level of in-person participation.

Here is more information and Restart Scouting latest updates.

For Cub Scout Packs, here is a link with Cub Scout Den Leader Adventure Videos for the different rank adventures!  These look very helpful!  Check them out and use in your virtual pack or den meetings!  Scroll past the tips & tricks to get to the adventure videos.

For Scouts BSA Troops, here is a document with linkds to different Scouts BSA Rank Requirement Videos. Check them out and use in your virtual troop or patrol meetings!

Program Calendar Planning 

This upcoming Scout year, it is more important than ever to have engaging and robust program calendars for the entire year to keep our Scouts engaged and attract new Scout families!  Each unit should have:

• Fun outdoor activities and camping plans
• Fun pack or troop meeting ideas
• Interactive advancement ideas
• Meaningful service ideas
• Impactful community presence ideas

To learn more and access the documents from the kick-off meetings, go to Annual Program Calendar Planning
