      April 21, 2025: Scouting America announce its partnership with #MyFriendToo US, "a groundbreaking initiative and resource – MyFriendTooUS.org – launched during Child Abuse Prevention Month to help children support their friends in disclosing sexual abuse to safe adults. Originally created by Protect Children in Finland and adapted for the U.S. in collaboration with ChildFund, #MyFriendToo US is the first program of its kind in the country, directly addressing the fact that children often disclose abuse to a friend rather than to an adult. The initiative equips children and youth with the knowledge, tools, and language to guide their friends toward safety and healing." https://www.myfriendtoous.org/ More at Source: https://www.scoutingnewsroom.org/press-releases/scouting-america-joins-myfriendtoo-us-initiative-to-empower-youth-in-the-fight-against-sexual-violence/

      FEMA, Army Corps of Engineers clear Hurricane Helene damage from Camp Grimes (NC)

      By OaklandAndy · Posted

      Our Pack will be a part of the 400 cub scouts. We're actually coming out-of-council to attend the event. They forewarned us that there is still damage, but staying in line with the "Dragon Quest" theme, they are using the damage as if the dragon came through and wrecked havoc. Now...the cub scouts must fight to take it back. Loving the creativity!

      Hurricane Helene, 1100 acre scout camp buried under debris, Camp Ranger Troy Williams, FEMA PPDR program,  "For the PPDR mission, property owners must submit a Right of Entry (ROE) form, which is a legal document that allows government contractors to access private land to remove debris. Collecting and verifying these forms is one of the first critical steps in determining eligibility and getting work underway. Without it, the Corps (US Army Core of Engineers contractors) cannot remove debris from private property." ... "Camp Grimes is on track to fully reopen by June 1. One troop has already stayed overnight and soon there will be 400 Cub Scouts arriving for a major weekend event."
