 100 years ago today, the Boy Scouts of America was founded and chartered by the United States Congress. For 100 years, the Boy Scouts of America has been providing adventure, opportunity, fun, while at the same time developing character, citizenship, fitness, leadership, and lifetime values to millions of young people. Why was the BSA founded? How did it come to be? The story starts in London in 1909. We call that story, "The Story of the Good Turn"

The Windsor Terrace Scout Center is currently undergoing some renovations and updates in an effort to make our space more functional for our week to week program needs. Renovations currently underway include replacing lighting, cleaning, and painting in all areas of the scout center and removal of the patrol walls in the main room. All work will be done on the weekends and will not effect the weekly meetings of the troop. If you are interested in helping with or sponsoring some of these renovations, please contact our Scoutmaster Anthony Pinnavaia. |

 Looking for the perfect stocking stuffer for your water-loving Boy Scout? Here's one: the Scuba Diving merit badge pamphlet, hot off the presses.
The merit badge, the first new one in three years, will officially be released on Dec. 1 when it will be available in Scout Shops and online at scoutstuff.org. It's the result of a newly announced partnership between the BSA and PADI, the Professional Association of Diving Instructors. Officials at the BSA determined that 84 percent of Scouts were interested in the merit badge, and so it was fast-tracked for adoption.
It's one of five merit badges being released in the next 12 months. The other four are Inventing (first quarter 2010), Geocaching (second quarter 2010), Scouting Heritage (second quarter 2010), and Robotics (fourth quarter 2010).
