Hey Scout! You can join Baltimore Area Council participating in 70th Anniversary of Invasion of Normandy, April 2014

How would you like to take part in a historical event that meant so much too so many, the liberation of Europe from Adolf Hitler’s grasp?

Commanded by U.S. Army General Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Normandy assault phase, code-named "Neptune" (the entire operation was "Overlord"), was launched when weather reports predicted satisfactory conditions on 6 June. Hundreds of amphibious ships and craft, supported by combatant warships, crossed the English Channel behind dozens of minesweepers. They arrived off the beaches before dawn. Three divisions of paratroopers (two American, one British) had already been dropped inland. Following a brief bombardment by ships' guns, Soldiers of six divisions (three American, two British and one Canadian) stormed ashore in five main landing areas, named "Utah", "Omaha", "Gold", "Juno" and "Sword". After hard fighting, especially on "Omaha" Beach, by day's end a foothold was well established.

Baltimore Area Council has been invited to participate in the 70th Anniversary of the Invasion of Normandy in April of 2014. This will be a 10 day trip that will cover stops in London, Pas de Cali, Normandy, and Paris. We will be visiting the Churchill’s bunkers, Rommel’s Panzer locations, the beaches of Normandy along with the American Cemetery in Normandy. If you would like to walk the beaches where you’re grandfathers tread or would like more information about this unforgettable event please go to our web site, http://www.baltimorebsa.org/normandy or contact Jenna Welle at jwelle@BaltimoreBSA.org or Glenn Sellers at gsellers@umm.edu.

Gathering of Eagles

The Gathering of Eagles is the premier event or gathering for Eagle Scouts in the Baltimore Area Council, Boy Scouts of America calling Eagle Scouts and their friends from throughout central Maryland. The 2012 Gathering of Eagles is November 15, 2012 www.baltimorebsa.org/goe

Eagle_Scout_Service_Project_of_the_Year.doc Download this file

The Eagle Scout Award. It’s Scouting’s highest rank and among its most familiar icons.

Men who have earned it count it among their most treasured possessions. Those who missed

it by a whisker remember exactly which requirement they didn’t complete. Americans from

all walks of life know that being an Eagle Scout is a great honor, even if they don’t know

just what the badge means.

The award is more than a badge. It’s a state of being. You are an Eagle Scout—never

were. You may have received the badge as a boy, but you earn it every day as a man. In the

words of the Eagle Scout Promise, you do your best each day to make your training and

example, your rank and your influence count strongly for better Scouting and for better

citizenship in your troop, in your community, and in your contacts with other people. And

to this you pledge your sacred honor.
