The trees have shed their leaves in many parts of the country, and that can only mean one thing: It’s Scouting for Food time.
The annual collection of canned goods and other donated food items strengthens the vital link between Scouting units and their surrounding community.
For this Photo Friday, check out 23 photos of Scout troops giving back: Continue reading
Saying that Scouts serve their community is a bit like saying fish swim or dogs bark.
Service is in Scouting’s DNA.
So it’s no surprise that when I asked for photos of Scouts doing service projects last month, the response was huge. Check out the proof below, in the form of 46 photos sent in by real Scouters like you.
“Scouts Doing Service Projects” is the latest in my Photo Fridays series, a feature that highlights real photos from real Scouters like you. We’ve already seen Cub Scout Fun, High Adventure, Funny Moments, Great Moments at Summer Camp, and learned that Scouters Can Have Fun, Too.
The next Photo Friday topic: Jamborees. E-mail your best shots to me, and include your name and home council.
Enjoy these 46 photos, and my thanks to the Scouters and Scouts who took time to give back to their community: Continue reading
Don’t tell your non-Scouting friends, but Scouts aren’t the only ones who have fun at pack, troop, team, or crew events.
Yes, the program is for Scouts, but as you and I know, adults get something out of it, too. For proof, just check out the 37 photos below.
“Scouters Can Have Fun, Too!” is the latest in our Photo Fridays series, a feature that highlights real photos from real Scouters. We’ve already seen Cub Scout Fun, High Adventure, Funny Moments, and Great Moments at Summer Camp.
Next week’s topic: “Service Projects.” E-mail your best shots to me, and include your name and home council.
But before you do, check out these 37 photos: Continue reading
To be honest, this week’s Photo Friday topic — Great Moments at Summer Camp — is a little redundant.
After all, it’s hard to find any moment at summer camp that isn’t great.
I speak from experience. I attended Camp Cherokee (now called Trevor Rees-Jones Scout Camp) with my troop six years in a row when I was a Scout. The location stayed the same each year, but the adventures, challenges, and excitement were fresh every time.
From the looks of the photos you sent me this week, it appears I’m not the only one who had a blast at summer camp.
That’s the concept behind this week’s edition of Photo Fridays, a feature highlighting real photos submitted by real Scouters. So far we’ve covered Cub Scout Fun, High Adventure, and Funny Moments.
Next week’s topic: “Scouters Can Have Fun, Too!” E-mail your best shots to me.
But first, enjoy these 39 photos!
Happy Friday, everyone! Bryan is in Orlando this week at the National Annual Meeting. (Follow Scouting magazine on Twitter for his live updates!)
But just because he’s away doesn’t mean we can’t have some fun—especially with Funny Moments photos that you’ve captured during your Scouting adventures. This post is a part of the Photo Fridays series, a feature highlighting real photos submitted by real Scouters.
So far, this series has covered Cub Scout Fun and High Adventure. We hope the 16 Funny Moments photos below add some laughter to your Friday!
Here’s something else for you to love about Fridays.
Photo Fridays, which debuted last week, showcases real photos from real Scouters.
Each week, the photos fit a different theme. This week it’s High Adventure, and the 29 photos below highlight a few of the many different kinds of adventure Scouts can have.
And now for something completely different.
Starting today and continuing for the next seven weeks, I’m introducing Photo Fridays here at Bryan on Scouting.
It’s simple, really. I give you a theme, and you e-mail me with photos that fit that theme. Thanks to Patrick Adams (my first Scoutmaster) for the idea.
By the way, I’m not looking for frame-worthy photography here. Any photo — from your smartphone or your fancy camera — will do, as long as it fits the theme and belongs to you.
Today’s theme is Cub Scout Fun, and the 21 photos below showcase the excitement of Scouting’s younger-boy program.
For next Friday, send me your photos of High Adventure. I’ll leave the exact definition of that vague for this purpose.
E-mail me your photos with the subject line “PHOTO FRIDAYS: High Adventure.” Be sure to include your name and home council.
Enjoy these photos!
