Our Pack is actually starting this at the beginning of 2024. I didn't even know about it until I was doing some research on different awards for our scouts. I doubt the councils even know much about it either. I'm hoping we can bring more awareness to it and other units will participate. 

I assume the International Spirit Award? Fantastic! We're doing it as a pack too.

Since it's so easy for me to help scouts with it, I'm helping not just my pack but another pack in town with it. I taught them not any two games but two campfire games, and it turns out that the scout promise and motto is exactly ten words in Swedish 😄

At the next campout, they will get the opportunity to cook reindeer chafing. (Vegetarian, solves both the reindeer meat supply problem this far south and everyone needs to eat problem.)

We're also going to spend more time on BP himself and the worldwide scouting movement at Blue & Gold.

If you're starting in January you already have a plan, no doubt, but I'm happy to help if I can. The other pack wanted to make it more real with a visit from someone who was a scout in a different country, and while I imagine I can't visit your pack maybe I can help make it more real for them in some other way if we put our heads together.

Yes and working on the MOP program and the same time since they share the same international objectives. I appreciate you're assistance!

My scout and I did the same thing last year when the pack did a MOP project. Makes sense 😄

These awards are great. I hope they've done a good job with translating them into adventures for next year. Waiting for that bit of the new program clarification to drop.
