Scouting is about fun, active learning, and outdoor adventures, all under the watchful eye of trained, adult leaders who serve as role models to guide our youth as they grow into young adults. The aims of Scouting center around character development, citizenship training, and personal fitness. The Black Warrior Council has Cub Scout Packs, Scout Troops, Venturing Crews, and Explorer Posts throughout our twelve counties (Tuscaloosa, Bibb, Hale, Pickens, Walker, Winston, Fayette, Sumter, Lamar, Marion, Marengo, and Greene). Youth may join Scouting any time throughout the year, so why wait? Join in the fun, join in the adventure, get started today in a Scouting unit in your area!

MB Pamphlet Change

The National Council has announced that soon all merit badge pamphlets will be in a digitized form and available to access free of charge by all. There will also be additional online resources for many merit badges that can assist Scouts as they work on a particular badge. A first example of these resources may be viewed as related to the Aviation Merit Badge. Click on this link to review these valuable resources.
Guide to Advancement Updated

FROM Aaron on Scouting....read the full article here.
The Guide to Advancement 2025, the latest version of the one true official source for all things related to advancement in every Scouting America program, has just been released. You can download a PDF here. As with every previous revision of this important document, all the changes were made based on feedback from volunteers from across the country, along with the help of a team of more than 20 people from across the Scouting spectrum tasked with identifying the most important issues.
“There are two things we were hoping to accomplish,” says Lisa Balbes, advancement lead for the Scouts BSA Committee. “One was bringing things up to date, and the other was clarifying things that were being misinterpreted.”
NEW Merit Badge Offered

Multisport is a racing competition that includes any combination of running, biking, or swimming. This badge serves as a natural progression for Scouts who are interested in or have earned individual badges for Swimming, Cycling, Athletics, or Personal Fitness. For Scouts active in one of these sports, it provides a fun opportunity to expand into another fitness area and enjoy the benefits of cross-training. Scouts proficient in two sports can discover new ways to combine their skills, which offers both immediate and long-term benefits for well-being, personal growth, and athletic endeavors.
Thank You for your Support of Scouting
