PV Pack 247

06/01/2026

Pack 247 has five Eagle Scouts as adult leaders or committee members! There is now a way to display this achievement in digital profiles!

Earning the Eagle Scout rank was never just about the badge — it was about the lessons, the leadership, the service, and the growth that shaped who I am today. 🦅
Now, the National Eagle Scout Association is helping us bring that legacy into the digital world. With NESA Digital Badging, Eagle Scouts can proudly display their accomplishments on LinkedIn, email signatures, resumes, and more.

It’s a powerful way to share the values we live by: leadership, service, citizenship, and continuous learning.
If you’re an Eagle, elevate your professional presence and show your Eagle pride.

Penn Valley Pack 247 held our end of year “Blue and Gold” celebration! This is an opportunity to recognize the Scout achievements and many adult leaders. Thank you everyone for another great program year! NEXT: Summertime Fun! congratulations to all Arrow of Light Scouts crossing over to a troop!

Blue and gold have been BSA’s colors since the organization’s founding in 1910.

What the Colors Symbolize:

Blue represents truth, loyalty, and the sky/sea (ideals Scouts aspire to)

Gold represents good character, warmth, and the sun (the light Scouts bring to the world)

Join your fellow members of the Constellation District in celebrating a successful Scouting year and recognizing those who have provided exceptional service to their Units and the District. The Constellation District is holding its annual Awards Picnic on Wednesday, June 10th at 6pm at St. George's Church in Ardmore.

In good Scouting-style, we’ll gather together to share our stories of Scouting successes throughout the year and recognize our District All-Star and Award of Merit recipients. The BBQ picnic is open to all who have volunteered or worked with their Units, District, or Council; while this event is for the adult volunteers, families are welcome as well. This year we'll be doing a potluck (sign up here); a $5 donation would be welcome, but is not required.

Please register in advance: via website or by email to Rob Shillingford.

“As we celebrate Sir David Attenborough's 100th birthday it's a perfect moment to look back on this interview where he reminisces on his days as a Cub in Leicestershire - and even meeting Scouts' Founder, Robert Baden-Powell.”
