Great news! The Cub Scout program will receive an update for the 2024-25 program year. The National Cub Scouting Committee, under the leadership of past chair Lisa Wylie and current chair Audrey Oakes, has identified four key areas to improve the program. The aim is to make it fun, simple, and easy for all participants.

During the past five years, the National Cub Scouting has been working diligently on these updates. The committee gathered feedback from over 23,000 parents and Cub Scout leaders through various surveys and data. By listening to the feedback and identifying the key opportunities to improve the program, the National Cub Scout committee is excited to finally reveal these improvements.

It's a sad day in the Baltimore Area Council as we say goodbye to our fearless Baltimore County District Director, Francesco Legaluppi, but we are so thrilled for him as he begins his next chapter as Field Director with National Capital Area Council, BSA, overseeing their Maryland Service Area.

Francesco joined the Baltimore Area Council staff in February 2022 and was an integral part of the strategic re-alignment of the Dulaney and Chesapeake Districts to form Gunpowder Falls District. Francesco led the charge on new unit development last year with 6 new units resulting in net unit growth. Francesco has provided staff leadership for the Council Philmont Contingent and Council Training to include NYLT and Woodbadge.

Congratulations, Francesco! You will be missed but we are so excited to hear about your adventures in NCAC!
