If you are looking for something special to do with the venture crew or the older scouts, this is a great program. You can combine with an overnight.
Solo puts on a Wilderness First Aid program that goes far beyond the scout first aid. This is information always good to know.

This is another great White Mountain hike. We came the long way from Ethan Pond in Crawford Notch, but you can take a shorter way in from the Zealand Falls campground area. The falls are beautiful and great for wading in after a long hike. There is an AMC hut there with spectacular views [...]

 
Good starter hikes to rocky summits with spectacular views.
Here is a flyer from the NFS that has trail details, history for Mount Chocorua. The Champney Brook Trail is a good choice. Mt. Chocorua is really a great hike, the views are spectacular. We climbed in late spring and Mt. Washington in the distance was still snow covered. [...]

 
As you would expect, there are many traditional boyscout tunes. Some are worth remembering, some are just really dumb. You’ll find many, many websites with all these tunes in it. Some kids (and adults) like the silly ones and that’s fine.
This website is actually pretty good for things traditional to boy scouts so if you are looking for those type of [...]

I had this idea to have the kids make useful survival kits (that is of course if they ever really needed them). Those Johnny Rambo kits with the fishing hooks and the other misc they will never use just did not make sense. I wanted something as light weight as possible they could easily and always slip into their [...]

 
This is probably one of the best sites for map reading I have ever seen. Lots of downloadable powerpoints. The author also covers the use of the military compass (brings back old memories).
Scouting in my view does not adequately cover land navigation and compass work. Some time ago it was decided that scouting would cover orienteering, not [...]

Dubbed the best hike in the northeast by many guidebooks, I could easily agree. This is a great hike to take fresh scouts on and get them bitten by the scouting/outdoorsmen bug. Spectacular views, the ability to get above the tree line, a great hike up past numerous waterfalls (take the Falling Water Trail up). I [...]

This is a great hike, either in April to watch (or participate in) skiing, late July to still see snow, the fall to get the colors, or winter to take in a great winter hike. Views are great, it is a beautiful area, and if you plan properly, this is really a safe hike. Able bodied [...]

This is a great trip. After we went, we found out there is a small scout camp nearby. Reservations are required by January I think and people compete for spaces. On our way back, we drove up through Amish country which was also very interesting. I thought to go over to Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater house [...]

One of the best scouting activities in our area is Orienteering. One of the best local spots for anything scout related is Nobscot Scout Reservation (in Sudbury, MA). Below is a note to our kids on what to expect. I thought it might be useful if you need anything like this. We have also taken the scouts here and introduced them to [...]

 
We camp a fair amount and do a lot of activities. Even without thinking about it, we cover a lot of the MB material just in the natural course of having fun and talking about outdoor related subjects. All good stuff and often I wished I started the bluecards to give the kids credit. I’ve done a few [...]
