17 Next Meetings - NAM

National Annual Meeting – in person meeting is Cancelled Jim Turley, National Chair, Boy Scouts of America “… If you had planned on attending this year’s meeting, we ask that you instead redirect the funds you would have otherwise spent attending the meeting - for registration, travel, and your hotel stay - to your local council. This will go a long way to help Scouting come back stronger after the COVID-19 pandemic subsides.

Our communities will need our support more than ever, and with your partnership, we believe Scouting can be ready to help Americans come back together in service and adventure when the time is right.

Thank you for your dedicated support of Scouting.”
