Welcome to the E-Scouter of the Lake Huron Area Council! Our new website will host a monthly newsletter in place of the printed version. We are excited to come into the century of technology and serve our families better.

To increase awareness of this societal problem and to create even greater barriers to abuse than already exist today in Scouting, the Boy Scouts of America is implementing several important changes to further enhance its Youth Protection policies.
Over the past few years the emphasis on training has grown significantly. In the past, if a leader didn't want to be trained, nothing serious was done about it. In our world, this is a dangerous direction to follow. We tend to change things after a costly incident could have been prevented or after something serious happens. We must be pro-active about our trainings, so we are prepared!

It is hard to believe that just 100 years ago, when a Scout earned the Signaling merit badge, the Scout most likely lived in a home with no telephone and probably no electricity. 100 years later, our world is quite different. Lake Huron Area Council now offers four vintage merit badges to help a Scout understand how these two worlds are different but, in many ways, are the same...

Words too often inadequately express the sentiment we feel at the death of a friend or the joy we feel when a friend is honored with a special recognition. No finer tribute can be paid than to encourage a boy to live the life of a Scout. A contribution to Lake Huron Area Council Memorial/Tribute Fund is the perfect tribute. It will be put in trust so that it continues to give in perpetuity.
