Adventure Base 100 Tour Coming Soon and we Need Volunteers!
Want FREE entrance to the Puyallup Fair? In less than 3 weeks the Adventure Base 100 Tour will be visiting the Puyallup Fair (September 17-19) and we need several youth and adult Scout volunteers to help us out. This is the only stop in the Pacific Northwest for this nationally celebrated event. We’re coordinating efforts with the Pacific Harbors Council and we still need a lot of volunteers to commit to at least one of the three days. Email Darla Sklar if you want to receive FREE entrance to the fair by volunteering at the Adventure Base 100 Tour.

NEW: Inventing Merit Badge!

Merit Badge Will Help Scouts Understand the Power of Creativity and Invention

The Boy Scouts of America (BSA), in partnership with the Lemelson-MIT Program, announced the introduction of the Inventing merit badge, designed to encourage Scouts to be inventive and solve real-world problems. The new merit badge will provide Boy Scouts with an understanding of the impact and importance of inventive thinking and doing.

Please Welcome Our New Scout Executive!

Sharon M. Moulds is the new Scout Executive of the Chief Seattle Council. Ms. Moulds was most recently the Area 6 Director in the Central Region and has taken over as the executive director for the council on June 1.

To say Sharon has Scouting in her blood would be an understatement. Her father was a Scouting professional for 39 years and she has served in five different councils in eight different leadership positions over the last 25 years including Scout executive in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

She is Wood Badge trained, Vigil Member of the Order of the Arrow and active member of her son’s Boy Scout Troop. Please join us in welcoming Sharon, her husband Al and their two sons to the Chief Seattle Council.

Youth Safety is the #1 Concern of the BSA

To increase awareness of this societal problem and to create even greater barriers to abuse than already exist today in Scouting, the Boy Scouts of America is implementing several important changes to further enhance its Youth Protection policies:

Effective June 1, 2010:

- Youth Protection Training is required for all registered volunteers.

- New leaders are required to take Youth Protection Training before they submit their application for registration. The certificate of completion for this training must be submitted at the time application is made and before volunteer service with youth begins.

- Youth Protection Training must be taken every two years. If a volunteer's Youth Protection Training record is not current at the time of recharter, the volunteer will not be reregistered.

Please CLICK HERE for steps to ensure these policies are fully implemented.
