The BSA’s 2024 National Annual Meeting is set for May 5-9 in Orlando, Florida, and it’s shaping up to be one of the most epic national Scouting events of the year.
Only two Honor Medals with Crossed Palms were awarded in 2023, and both incidents illustrate how Scouting prepares young people to keep their calm and respond appropriately in even the most stressful situations. Here are the two Honor Medal with Crossed Palms recipients for 2023.
Proudly display your BSA pride — down to your specific unit number and location — by purchasing clothing, accessories and other products from the recently launched MyScoutShop.org.
Glenn Ault, a past council president, past region president and recipient of several of Scouting’s top awards, has been named the 2026 National Jamboree Chair. The event will be held on July 22-31, 2026, at The Summit Bechtel Reserve.
Scheduled for June 14-15, Whizzbangers Ball is designed to give families the opportunity to not only see some great musical artists but also to participate in some of the great activities the Summit has to offer.
The National Day of Prayer is May 2, 2024, and the BSA’s National Religious Relationships Committee is inviting all Scouts and their families to participate by reading a portion of their own sacred text at 5:30 p.m. local time on that day.
