As the winter holidays approach, challenge your scouts (or leaders) with winter weather and holiday trivia. You can find some good ones here.

Cool Web Stuff

You may be one of the nearly 1 million people
who have seen this on Scouting magazine’s Facebook page,
but it’s a scouting story too good for ANYONE to miss.

It’s a testament to the bond scouts share,
a story about the reunion of a troop
separated by 4 states and 34 years.

The picture alone is worth a look.

Tips & Tricks

According to the psychological research, it might be better to spend
your holiday gift money on experiences instead of goods.

While toys, jewelry, clothing and electronics are all very nice, it is often a concert, vacation or special meal that becomes a life-long happy memory. And experiences like these can be talked about with others, another way they continue the happiness long after they are over.

This year, consider giving one or more people on your list the gift
of an experience that creates happy memories to outlast any THING you could buy.

Thank you for your support!
