Scouting is about fun, active learning, and outdoor adventures, all under the watchful eye of trained, adult leaders who serve as role models to guide our youth as they grow into young adults. The aims of Scouting center around character development, citizenship training, and personal fitness. The outdoors are a central part of our methods to deliver the Scouting program in a way that motivates, inspires, and engages youth members.

The Black Warrior Council has Cub Scout Packs, Scout Troops, Venturing Crews, and Explorer Posts throughout our twelve counties (Tuscaloosa, Bibb, Hale, Pickens, Walker, Winston, Fayette, Sumter, Lamar, Marion, Marengo, and Greene). Youth may join Scouting any time throughout the year, so why wait? Join in the fun, join in the adventure, get started today in a Scouting unit in your area!

Big News for Summer Camp 2025: Stay Cool in Our Air-Conditioned Dining Hall!

Thanks to a generous gift from the Pass Family and contributions from several others, we are thrilled to share an exciting update for Summer Camp 2025! To make your camp experience even more enjoyable, we are adding air conditioning to our dining hall. Whether you’re seeking a break from the summer heat or just looking forward to a more comfortable mealtime environment, our new cooling system will help ensure everyone stays refreshed and ready for adventure.

Here’s what you can look forward to:

Comfortable Mealtimes: Enjoy your meals in a cool, relaxing setting, no matter how high the temperatures climb outside.
Enhanced Camp Experience: A cooler space to gather, connect, and recharge during your busy camp schedule.

We can’t wait to welcome you to this upgraded facility next summer. Be sure to share this exciting news with your fellow Scouts and leaders as you prepare for an unforgettable camp experience.

If you have any questions or would like to know more about what’s in store for Summer Camp 2025, feel free to reach out to us. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to improve and innovate!

Unit leadership needs to be sure and remember that now the member and unit renewals follow a different process. It is very important that units plan ahead about how they will handle this within their unit and communicate well to all Scouts and parents. As always, if assistance is needed, don't hesitate to reach out to your District Executive or call the Scout Service Center at (205) 554-1680.
