It takes a boy from 9 to 12 years to progress from Tiger Cub to Eagle Scout and, along that trail, he is guided by many adults - den leaders, cubmasters, merit badge counselors, scoutmasters, and many other volunteers. The 12 ranks of scouting each have a thoroughly designed program that helps to grow a member from one level to the next. It is very important that the adult leaders follow these programs so the scouts receive the most they can from their scouting experience from cub scouts through boy scouts.
The program is really an outline with rules and guidelines but also plenty of room for personalization of the game of scouting by troops and packs. The program leaders (boys and adults) need resources, ideas, and information to make their program fly. We hope you find useful aids here and we would love to hear any new ideas you have successfully used so we can help other groups of boy scouts succeed.

The Boy Scouts of America have created some interesting public service ads and I've found some other scouting videos that are interesting. Take a look at Scouting Videos.
Here's some information about Scout Fundraising.
This site began as a way to chronicle the experiences of one small group of boy scouts in Minnesota on their trail from tiger cubs to eagle scouts. We documented our program schedules, advancements achieved, most all of our activities, games played, and skits performed. But, as things tend to evolve, we added more ideas that we thought would be fun to try some day. Soon, it turned into a resource of ideas for scouts everywhere to use. Hopefully, you'll use this site to improve your scouting program.
