A 9-year-old Minnesota Cub Scout has received one of Scouting America's rarest honors for pulling a drowning girl from the bottom of a pool. Cameron Scharfbillig was presented with the organization's Honor Medal at a ceremony in Sartell, Minnesota. Watch and read more at the link in bio. #cubscouts #scouting #wcco

The lapse period is getting shorter, from two months to only one month. Anything over that and the membership will drop from the system.

📢 Scouting America Membership Renewal Changes Coming (2026–2028)

Scouting America is transitioning all unit and member renewals to a February renewal cycle to simplify the membership process and better align with recruiting season.

Key highlights:

✅ Unit renewals begin transitioning in September 2026.
✅ Individual member renewals transition throughout 2027 using prorated fees.
✅ By February 2028, all units and members will renew on the same annual February schedule.

The new system will create one consistent renewal season, reduce barriers for new members with prorated fees, eliminate the 2-month lapse period, align Safeguarding Youth Training with renewal dates, and give unit leaders more control over the renewal process.

The goal is to improve retention, make renewals easier, and strengthen membership growth across Scouting.

Stay tuned for more details as the transition rolls out!

Good afternoon Three Rivers Comms Team, We will have Committee Meeting and Roundtable this Thursday, Oct 1 at Our Lady of Lourdes starting at 6 pm (Committee).

This month: RENEWAL
