‘Scouting for Adventure’ TV show
 Boys’ Life magazine has always given you stories about Scout adventures — from backpacking to kayaking and everything in between.
Now, BL is bringing its Scout adventure stories to The Outdoor Channel television network in the new series “Scouting for Adventure — Presented by Boys’ Life.” The six episodes stress key outdoors skills and capture Scouts in action in a variety of locations as they explore the wilderness.
The episodes were filmed at national high adventure bases and Scout camps across the country.
Catch the show on The Outdoor Channel at the following times:
- 8:30 a.m. Wednesday
- 6:30 p.m. Wednesday
- 2:00 p.m. Saturday
All times Eastern
A video clip of the first show can be found here:

Ad Altare Dei and Pope Pius XII Programs
Starting in October, Catholic Scouts have the opportunity to attend the Ad Altare Dei or Pope Pius XII program being held at St. Peters Church.
The Ad Altare Dei is desinged primarily for boys 13-14 and the purpose is to foster a Scout's personal and spiritual growth.
The Pope Pius XII is designed primarily for boys 15-16, but all registered venturers (male or female) are welcome. The program deals with different life choices, occupations and ministries in the Church.

Prince George District Mini-Camporee
The Prince George’s District will be holding a Mini-Jamboree and they have invited our units to participate since we are in their Field Area now. It is being held October 24-26. I know it is when our ordeal is, but I also know that everyone in our units will not be at the ordeal so this may be one of the things the scouts may want to participate in that weekend.

Hazardous Weather Online Training

Click on WEATHER HAZARDS. This should be a required training for anyone going on outings that are out-of-doors to be aware of early warning signs of dangerous, life threatening, weather conditions that can happen within a few minutes.
 NOW IN EFFECT - There is a new Eagle Scout Application form, dated 2008 THAT MUST NOW BE USED. EDITIONS OF THE APPLICATION WITH PREVIOUS DATES ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTED BY THE NATIONAL COUNCIL IN TEXAS and therefore by the NCAC. Obtain and use the correct version by clicking on the picture (left) or one of the links below. Doing this will avoid creating a problem for your eagle scout candidate if you use older versions of the application.
