(Troop 1094, National Capital Area Council)</strong> was chosen to receive the 2024 Messengers of Peace Distinguished Project Award as follows:</p> <blockquote><p><em>The award recognizes outstanding service by individuals who have made contributions within their respective communities towards the promotion of peace. Through their work in Scouting, which aligned with one (or more) of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), they have acted locally to effect global change.</em></p> <p><em>Jason was selected for the award for his work on constructing new and improving current ecosystems in Poolesville, Maryland. The project exemplifies the spirit of the Messengers of Peace initiative, bringing together 100 volunteers to achieve remarkable outcomes. Jason converted a ½-acre non-native grass area into a flourishing pollinator habitat to support monarch butterflies, birds, and other wildlife, while improving soil water filtration essential to Poolesville’s well system. The project also innovated community programs to enhance the local ecosystems through implementation of a fishing line recycling program, installation of pond structures with Christmas trees, and creation of cavity nesting environments for birds.</em></p> <p><em>The success of the project is reflected not only in its tangible outcomes – such as thriving pollinator gardens, cleaner ponds, and sightings of diverse wildlife – but also in its ability to bring the Poolesville community together to support environmental conservation. Jason hosted a booth at Poolesville Springfest and shared videos and resources on social media, raising awareness about environmental sustainability.</em></p> <p><em>Jason is a dedicated and passionate Scout who has demonstrated a commitment to making a difference in his community, exemplifies what it means to be a Messenger of Peace, and embodies the Scout Oath and Law in his work. Congratulations on this well-deserved honor and thank you for inspiring others through your creativity and dedication!</em></p> <p><em><strong>Messengers of Peace Distinguished Projects</strong> are chosen annually by the International Commissioner of Scouting America and the Scouting America Messengers of Peace (MoP) committee. The award is open to registered Scouts who have made significant contributions to the promotion of peace and have met the requirements laid out in the MoP Program Guide. Scouts may be nominated for this award by any registered Scout Leader and must be approved by their Council International Representative and Scout Executive. The deadline for 2025 award nominations is October 31, 2025.</em></p></blockquote> </div> </div> <p> </p> </div><footer class="entry-footer"><p class="entry-meta"><span class="entry-categories">Filed Under: <a href="https://weownadventure.com/category/featured/" rel="category tag">Featured</a>, <a href="https://weownadventure.com/category/programs/" rel="category tag">Scouting Programs</a></span> </p></footer></article><article class="post-8115 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail category-featured category-leaders entry" aria-label="Rebranding of Scouting America impacts many Scouts" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/CreativeWork"><header class="entry-header"><h2 class="entry-title" itemprop="headline"><a class="entry-title-link" rel="bookmark" href="https://weownadventure.com/rebranding-of-scouting-america-impacts-many-scouts/">Rebranding of Scouting America impacts many Scouts</a></h2> <p class="entry-meta"><time class="entry-time" itemprop="datePublished" datetime="2025-02-21T16:37:14+00:00">February 21, 2025</time> by <span class="entry-author" itemprop="author" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a href="https://weownadventure.com/author/kfishman/" class="entry-author-link" rel="author" itemprop="url"><span class="entry-author-name" itemprop="name">Kadie Fishman</span></a></span> </p></header><div class="entry-content" itemprop="text"><p>On Feb. 8, Boy Scouts of America officially rebranded to Scouting America to promote its inclusivity, which many Scouts from the National Capital Area Council (NCAC) have reflected positively upon.</p> <p>Scouting America announced the rebranding of the organization on May 7, 2024, and the official day to change was marked for Feb. 8, 2025, which was the 115th birthday of the organization’s founding.</p> <p>The organization opened single-gender dens in Cub Scouts for boys and girls during 2018. A year after this transformative development, Scouts BSA was introduced so older boys and girls could join single-gender troops and earn their Eagle Scout rank. Since this change, Scouting America has seen over 8,000 females become Eagle Scouts.</p> <p>NCAC has a membership of over 4,330 female Scouts, according to the 2024 annual report. Sophia R., a 17-year-old Scout from Troop 1526, joined Cub Scout Pack 873 in 2018 when the program opened up to girls.</p> <p>“Because of Scouting, I would say my biggest accomplishments are the things I’ve been able to do with the skills that I’ve received,” Sophia said. “Definitely my public speaking [and] confidence greatly improved.”</p> <p>Sophia watched her brother’s journey through Scouting and knew she wanted to join when she could. She joined as a Webelos in her Cub Scout Pack and then bridged into being a troop founder for Troop 1526.</p> <p>Sophia received her Eagle in 2022 and has worked on Wood Badge staff for adults the last two years. She shared that because of her experiences, she has been the friend that many rely on.</p> <p>“When cars breakdown, I’m the friend who gets called,” Sophia said. “It’s little things like that have really impacted my life and definitely made me who I am.”</p> <p>Because of the rebranding, Sophia said it is easier to explain her participation in Scouting America. Sophia’s father, Keith R., was a Scoutmaster for Troop 1525 and created Troop 1526 so “each troop had its own culture.” Keith said that Scouting is necessary to build skills that youth are struggling with today.</p> <p>“It’s life skills that are being missed by today’s youth that Scouting can fill that gap,” Keith said.</p> <p>Nirali S. is another Scout from Troop 1920 and she joined over a year ago. She participates in FLL, or First Lego League, and encouraged girls to join Scouting as part of her project in the 2024 competition.</p> <p>Nirali said that the rebranding will allow for more representation of Scout experiences and is surprised that many people aren’t aware of Scouting America’s inclusivity to girls. Nirali said that the rebranding “reinforces the organization’s commitment to serving all youth.”</p> <p>Nirali shared the many skills she has been able to learn because of Scouting. She emphasized skills such as confidence, leadership and teamwork, as well as life skills such as first aid, camping and knot-tying.</p> <p>“Girls are empowered within Scouts,” Nirali said. “They can participate in all the same activities, earn the same merit badges, and achieve the same ranks.”</p> <p>Boys and girls in Scouting believe the rebranding will bring beneficial changes to the organization. Keenan Pallone, who works as a field Director in the NCAC, is also an Eagle Scout from the Council. He started as a Cub Scout, joined Troop 996, and then helped form Troop 301 in Alexandria, Virginia.</p> <p>Pallone believes that rebranding to Scouting America is a necessity. He went to many recruitment events where parents didn’t know girls could be in Scouting, so the rebranding will create awareness of the opportunity.</p> <p>“We welcome everyone who wants to be a Scout that wants to follow the Scout Oath and Law and motto and slogan,” Pallone said.</p> <p>Pallone noticed the benefits Scouting had on him, as well as someone he mentored during his youth and adult years. His mentee had learning and physical disabilities and struggled to find a healthy environment, until he entered the Scouting program.</p> <p>“You would have never guessed the hardships that this kid had gone through,” Pallone said. “Scouting saved this kid’s life.”</p> <p>With the rebranding of Scouting America, youth and adults should be able to see the benefits of Scouting. Pallone enjoyed his experience as a Scout and noticed the impact it had on him through character development, trying new things and learning new values.</p> <p>“I would not be who I am today if it wasn’t for Scouting,” Pallone said. “When I look back as an adult, those were some of the most formative years of my life.”</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> </div><footer class="entry-footer"><p class="entry-meta"><span class="entry-categories">Filed Under: <a href="https://weownadventure.com/category/featured/" rel="category tag">Featured</a>, <a href="https://weownadventure.com/category/leaders/" rel="category tag">Leaders</a></span> </p></footer></article><article class="post-8130 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail category-adventure category-programs entry" aria-label="CVOA’s 3rd Annual Climbing Lock-In was a Success!" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/CreativeWork"><header class="entry-header"><h2 class="entry-title" itemprop="headline"><a class="entry-title-link" rel="bookmark" href="https://weownadventure.com/cvoas-3rd-annual-climbing-lock-in-was-a-success/">CVOA’s 3rd Annual Climbing Lock-In was a Success!</a></h2> <p class="entry-meta"><time class="entry-time" itemprop="datePublished" datetime="2025-02-19T17:54:06+00:00">February 19, 2025</time> by <span class="entry-author" itemprop="author" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a href="https://weownadventure.com/author/mnemier/" class="entry-author-link" rel="author" itemprop="url"><span class="entry-author-name" itemprop="name">Mickey Nemier</span></a></span> </p></header><div class="entry-content" itemprop="text"><p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-8136 aligncenter" src="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/MG_3523-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="377" height="251" srcset="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/MG_3523-300x200.jpg 300w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/MG_3523-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/MG_3523-768x512.jpg 768w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/MG_3523-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/MG_3523-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/MG_3523-945x630.jpg 945w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 377px) 100vw, 377px" /></p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-8135 alignleft" src="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/MG_3514-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="157" height="236" srcset="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/MG_3514-200x300.jpg 200w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/MG_3514-683x1024.jpg 683w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/MG_3514-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/MG_3514-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/MG_3514-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/MG_3514-420x630.jpg 420w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/MG_3514-scaled.jpg 1707w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 157px) 100vw, 157px" />Starting at 9:00 PM on Saturday, February 14, 2025, Venturers and Venturing age Scouts BSA and Sea Scouts participated in NCAC Venturing Officers’ Association (CVOA) 3rd Annual Climbing Lock-In and 27th Anniversary Venturing Celebration at Vertical Rock in Manassas, VA! Lasting for 10 hours, this year’s Climbing Lock-In featured fun activities for everyone, like board games, sharing stories, puzzles, pizza, chips, cupcakes, bouldering, and, of course, lots of rock climbing.</p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-8134 alignright" src="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/IMG_3474-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/IMG_3474-300x200.jpg 300w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/IMG_3474-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/IMG_3474-768x512.jpg 768w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/IMG_3474-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/IMG_3474-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://weownadventure.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/IMG_3474-945x630.jpg 945w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />The Lock-In started with a “Learn the Ropes” intro course, which taught Scouts and Adults all of the necessary safety to climb in the facility and manage the ropes without the need for an instructor.
