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 outdoors are a central part of our methods to deliver the Scouting program in a way that motivates, inspires, and engages youth members.

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!

Giving Tuesday: December 3rd

Every day there is ample evidence of the difference Scouting is making in the lives of our youth. These accomplishments are due to the extraordinary investment of time and resources by so many.

GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of radical generosity. GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Since then, it has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.

As you consider participating, we hope that you will consider continuing your support of Scouting locally. If you would like to make any level of contribution to advance Scouting in the West Alabama area, please use the button to the right. Please help spread the opportunity by sharing this information to others. Thank you!

Cub Scout Programming

Unit leadership needs to be sure and remember that now the member and unit renewals follow a different process. It is very important that units plan ahead about how they will handle this within their unit and communicate well to all Scouts and parents. As always, if assistance is needed, don't hesitate to reach out to your District Executive or call the Scout Service Center at (205) 554-1680.
