"Ayden and Mason Macias, brothers from Troop 11, were on a training hike for an upcoming backpacking trip in New Mexico when they encountered a man waving them down, begging for help. His pregnant wife and two young children were in distress after running out of water under the scorching sun. ...At Caprock Canyon, temperatures in the summer can reach up to 110 degrees. The family had only one water bottle to split between the four of them."

"Eleven boys and two girls from Jackson Cub Scout Pack 204 were learning to fire arrows at Black Knight Bowbenders when a bolt of lightning struck a tree near the shooting range at 7:13 p.m., according to the Jackson Police Department." "Ten-year-old Cub Scout Ryan Coopey had his socks and shoes knocked off by the lightning strike Wednesday, leaving him with second-degree burns on his heels." "Mr. Montgomery (who died) was one of several volunteer instructors helping the scouts Wednesday night, according to Bob Helle, a longtime member of the Bowbenders and the group’s former president."

"We reach out to you to share great news! Last night the Executive Board of the Northeast Georgia Council, BSA approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU - attached) that establishes a formal partnership and relationship with the Georgia Tribe of Eastern Cherokee (GTEC) After the MOU was unanimously approved by the Executive Board, a formal signing ceremony was held with Ms. Rhonda Odum, Tribal Council Chair of the GTEC, and our council leadership including Brother Michael Levengood, our Council President, and our Scout Executive, Brother Trip Selman. Late last year, the National Order of the Arrow Committee let each council and lodge decide whether or not native American culture would continue in their programming. The Northeast Georgia Council made the decision to keep this important part of our program. This required a MOU with a federally or state recognized native American nation that expresses this desire and to focus all of this programming locally. While this initiative began with the OA program, we believe that this can have a positive impact on all of the family of Scouting programs in our council. And, as of last night, it is official! As part of the goals of the GTEC, they are planning to develop an authentic Cherokee village and promote the important and critical culture of the first peoples in north Georgia. Mowogo Lodge is proud and prepared to offer our resources and skills to helping them achieve their goals and we will serve as the catalyst for our youth and adult participants to learn genuine Cherokee culture and heritage. We hope you will join us in welcoming our new friends and be ready to learn and grow with them. This is the beginning of a new opportunity for all of us and future generations of Scouts and Scouters we may never meet. Their leadership is planning on joining us at our Pow Wow Fellowship in September. Yours in Service, Rusty Royston Lodge Adviser, Mowogo Lodge Northeast Georgia Council, BSA" More (photos) at source: https://www.mowogo.org/news/mowogo-news/lodge-adviser-s-minute/551-a-new-day-a-new-era Memorandum of Understanding: https://www.mowogo.org/mowogo/lodge-administration/file-downloads?task=download.send&id=130:signing-memo-nega-gtec-june-26-2025&catid=8 Note: Perhaps should be moved to OA forum, but I'm not a member of OA.
