Council News
Coronavirus Precautions
The council has closed the Council Service Center and the Bloomington Scout Shop, as well as both camping properties, temporarily to help to prevent the spreading of the coronavirus that is plaguing the United States. We plan to be closed until at least the end of April; however, updates will be posted on this page.
Scouting from Home Resources
These are uncertain times and we know that families are seeking some sense of normalcy in their lives. Scouting can help to fill this gap! A new webpage has been developed to assist Scouts in continuing to work on Scouting advancements, while sequestered at home. We have also compiled a group of youth online resources to help families through these trying times. Additional resources will be added frequently, so we encourage adding checking this page to your daily routine.
