Boy Scouts of America | Hawkeye Area Council

The Hawkeye Area Council Catholic Committee on Scouting is sponsoring a series of classes to help 13-14 year-old Boy Scouts earn their Ad Altare Dei religious emblem. Participants must be registered, active members of their troop for a minimum of six months.

The sessions will begin on Sunday, September 25 and run for eight straight weeks. We will meet from 4:00-5:15 each Sunday at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church in Hiawatha. For further information, please contact Steve Serrot at (319) 378-3992.

Is your Pack looking for a short Saturday activity in September?  If so, take a look at this annual event honoring Veterans held at Camp Waubeek!  The first 200 Cub Scouts in uniform to arrive get a free Veterans Memorial segement!

View the event information here and make this apart of your Pack planning for this Fall!

From the National Lodge:

Do you know an Arrowmen who just earned his Eagle but you have no idea what to get him? The Order of the Arrow has produced a congratulatory letter that would be the perfect addition to any Eagle Court of Honor. Click link below..

https://beascout.scouting.org/welcome.aspx is your home to get information that is valuable to new Cub Scout parents! 

Because keeping up the excitement of new Cub Scouts and their parents between sign-up night and their first pack meeting is so important to a pack’s success, the BSA has developed some new, easy-to-access resources to help maintain those peak interest levels.

Targeting new Cub Scout parents and newly recruited den leaders, these resources include a page on the BeAScout.org website (beascout.scouting.org/welcome.aspx, or the Spanish version, beascout.scouting.org/bienvenidos.aspx) that features a fun video highlighting Scouting in action and two simple information tab choices: “I am a new Cub Scout parent” and “I volunteered to be a new Cub Scout den leader.”

Parents can choose to investigate one or both tabs, where they will find basic information and answers to their most common questions. If they want still more information, they will be invited to explore Scouting.org.

A bilingual (English and Spanish) postcard is available to help guide parents to this wealth of online information. The Hawkeye Area Council has access to this postcard!
