TROOP 50 VIRTUAL SCOUTING RESOURCE PAGE
This resource page was created by using links and information collected from various BSA sites. We will develop the page and add more information for scouting from home. As this method is grown we will find problems along the way as well as things that work very well. Your comments are appreciated. Please also refer to direct emails from Troop 50 and it's leadership.

We would like to introduce the
Scouting at Home Hub. www.dmvc.org/scoutingathome
This hub is intended for Scouts, non-Scouts, parents and leaders as a resource during these weeks while Scouting is happening on a MUCH more local level. This resource is being continuously developed and will grow as more opportunities become available.
We have teams of volunteers and staff working together to create and curate content. Some content is created locally and other is sources from other Councils and the public sector.
You will find info for Cub Scouting and Scouts BSA as well as for unit leaders.
If you have questions, or would like to recommend additional resources, or if you would like to volunteer to help please reach out to our Director of Field Service, Rick Suhrbier at rsuhrbier@dmvc.org.
Keep on Scouting!
Please remember that this page will be edited, information added, information retracted, etc. Please visit the page regularly to stay up to date on how to continue scouting in a virtual setting. We know that this does not replace the traditional scouting process but we need to ensure this aspect of our lives is not lost.
