Web Page Disclaimer:

The purpose of this webpage is not to compete with the www.stlbsa.org page! This is intended to merely be a 'supplement' that is more accessible for our volunteers to post information. Our web page and the STLBSA web page are maintained by different groups with different levels of response time; so, we encourage you to check BOTH web pages!

Up Coming Events

Day Camp coming up July 6-10 at Knights of Columbus Park. There is still time to get signed up. We are accepting walk-ins as well.

Webelos Evening Camp at Dunegant Park for July 27-30 is still a go at this point and will be just Webelos as originally planned. Please sign up your Webelos now!

School Night to Join Scouting

For September, School Night to Join Scouting dates are as follows. If you have a unit that recruits out of one of these school districts then this is the night we want you to have your registration night!

Hazelwood School District August 27th
Ferguson Florissant School District September 3rd
Riverview Gardens School District September 10th
Jennings School District September 17th

If your unit is in a private or parochial school/church then your SNJS will be on the same night as the public school that would cover the area of your chartering organization.
