Messengers of Peace

The MESSENGERS OF PEACE program inspires a culture of peace and dialogue for mutual understanding, promotes service initiatives led by Scouts, supports the development of young people affected by conflict situations, and connects Scouts around the world in a global network of millions of Messengers of Peace.

Rooted in the sustainable development, Messengers of Peace (MoP) invites Scouts to take the lead in building a better world. The MoP program has evolved to empower Scouts to live out the values of peace every day — through action, attitude, and advocacy. The Messengers of Peace Program is meant to help Scouts recognize and frame their goals and projects towards this end, and to help Scouts foster peace and community involvement through leadership, peacebuilding and environmental action. MoP is not just about counting hours. It’s about how Scouts live out peace — at home, in school, and in service.

Leave No Trace Skills Course

This training is NOT a Scouting America Training. It is only required for Troops and Crews if they are attending one of our 4 National High Adventure Bases (Philmont, Sea Base, Northern Tier, or The Summit) or if you will be conducting a Scouting activity 60 minutes away from definitive medical care.

Occasionally our Council will offer a Wilderness First Aid course through a partnership with another organization. Please check back for details on when/if one is being held. For those units who need adult leaders trained in Wilderness First Aid, the following providers offer courses annually in our region.
