Scout Links

One of the most important things we can do in Scouting is help boys and their parents be self-reliant. We have provided links to the several key scouting sites including the Black Otter District, the Montana Council and the national Boy Scout web site. We hope this assists you with your venture in scouting!

American Indian Scouting Association (AISA)

The American Indian Scouting Association and its seminar is a joint venture with the Boy Scouts of America and Girl Scouts of the USA. They strive ...

To help adults who are responsible for administration as well as troop leaders to develop their talents through Scouting to better serve American Indian youth,
To help youth recognize their talents and capabilities through Girl Scouting or Boy Scouting and to serve their communities,
To exchange ideas about successful Girl Scouting and Boy Scouting programs for American Indian youth,
And, to help youths of all tribes and cultures learn by association to appreciate the wide differences of people of Indian heritage.

Young Eagles

The EAA Young Eagles program was launched in 1992 to give interested young people, ages 8 - 17, an opportunity to go flying in a general aviation airplane. These flights are offered free of charge and are made possible through the generosity of EAA member volunteers.

Participation is easy. Simply contact the EAA Young Eagles Office to find the closest volunteer pilot. From there, arrange a convenient time to go flying. We hope you enjoy a Young Eagles introduction to the exciting world of aviation. Make sure you come back to visit this web site after your flight to continue exploring the wonderful world of aviation!

Other Packs and Troops in the Area

One of the most important things to happen in Scouting is for Cub Scouts to advance to being Webelos and then on to being Boy Scouts. For that reason, we have provided the web sites that are available from local Troops.
