Breukelen and Lenape Bay Districts
Admittedly, GNYC didn’t quite get around to beautifying tenmileriver.org web site this year, but that didn’t stop them from getting camp itself ready. The first week is in session, staff have already been on site for over a week, and in spite of the precautions mandated for COVID, scouts will be in attendance, learning great…
Okay, maybe not a good joke. But the topic for April 12 Scouts BSA is navigational skills. It is, of course, impossible to cover all of that in a 20-30 minute roundtable session. But we will try to cover two very specific skills using map and compass. If you’ve got a compass, bring it along…

Did you know your district has an activities committee that meets pretty much every month? Like everything in scouting, the bulk of the work is done by unpaid volunteers, just like you.

Yes, you read the title correctly, that’s weekends, plural. And also yes, the fall is starting off with a bang: Steak-Out, OA Inductions, Trek-o-Ree, Merit Badge Rallies… as close to normal as we can make it. The past 18+ months has left the Order of the Arrow here in NYC with a backlog of candidates…
The annual Steak-Out is this next weekend, moved to Sunday to avoid conflicts with 9/11 memorials. We don’t have any special insights on what this year’s event will include, but recruitment and getting up and running with program activities will be a big deal this year. Scouting membership is down across the city after a…
