Scouting America

A nation-wide non-profit organization focused teaching youth outdoor leadership skills. The Scouting America movement has seen radical change over the recent years, implementing new policy that allows the addition of girls into Scouting America units. The name itself "Scouting America" reflects this change as opposed to "Boy Scouts of America".

Editor's Adventures: I visited Philmont Scout Ranch, and this is everything you need to know

This past month I had the privilege of attending Scouting America’s National Outdoor Conference at the Philmont Training Center in Cimarron, New Mexico. Philmont is one of Scouting America’s 5 high adventure bases in the United States, serving upwards of 30,000 campers on their over 90,000 acres of property in 2023. On top of getting to see some insanely beautiful views of the Rocky Mountains, I learned a lot about how to grow and develop MESH programming in a Scouting America camp, our main focus of this month’s newsletter!
