Art Merit Badge Opportunity

As shared on Bryan on Scouting Imagine getting free art lessons from the most accomplished illustrators from around the country. Maybe you want to ask them questions about their techniques. Maybe you’re looking for tips for your next art project. Maybe you’re bored and just want to draw along with the pros. And maybe you’re even looking to jumpstart the Art merit badge. May 25-29, we’re making all that happen. Each day at 2 p.m., hop onto go.boyslife.org/fblive for live-drawing demonstrations and Q&As with the incredible illustrators of Boys’ Life magazine.

Adults and Scouts, this is your opportunity to sign up for Rank Advancement Sign Offs, Boards of Review ("BOR"), and/or Scoutmaster Conferences. Very few of you are taking advantage of this opportunity to continue advancing in Scouting – it is challenging, but there are still advancements that you can complete and get signed off virtually at this time! NEW Scouts should all be working on completing their Scout ranks at this time, then Tenderfoot, as possible. Also, Scouts and parents, please be aware that you must take a picture of your Scout’s Handbook for the rank in question (and Camping and Service Logs as needed) and email to the Assistant Scoutmaster (ASM) and BOR contact once assigned, to enable them to verify that Scoutbook is up to date.
