May 2022: World of Scouting 

This month we highlight the scout law of reverent. Reverent means feeling or showing a deep solemn respect. A Scout is reverent when they show respect for the beliefs of others. This month we focus on experiencing the customs of our friends from other countries—like the scouting games from Japan and India you played for the gathering activity at the Pack Meeting. You can play Sudoku and Kaooa at home with your family, too! 

More Scouts earned rank this month! Congratulation to our loyal Lions Bear Reddy, Ben Thaxton, Juliet Slaughter, Kallie Gasparakis, Liam Flick, and Lincoln Morrison; terrific Tigers Megan Halderman, Evie Richards, Jet Rissel, Topher Chatham; and the wonderful Wolf Bodie Thaxton. We are so proud you all attained this honor and hope you will continue to progress through the elective adventures until you reach the time to start work on the next rank.
