This site developed and maintained by the America 250 SAR Programs Committee
Here are some examples of Scouting Programs. Your chapter can have these programs as well, just rewrite them to add your SAR touch and State or Chapter information.
"Scoutmaster Minutes"
1773 Boston Tea Party
Patriot Adventure
The activities outlined are intended to educate Scouts about the history of one of the earliest events of the American Revolution while incorporating Scout skills into Patrol contests.
1775 Lexington & Concord Camp Program
America 250 SAR Camp Programs are a series of SAR 250th Anniversary celebrations of key events that happened during the revolutionary era. These programs are designed as turnkey programs that are designed as a tool that a chapter can use to conduct a patriotic and meaningful educational program with any group. This was originally designed as a Scout Camporee program, although many of the activities could be modified for used with other organizations.

American Patriot Merit Badge Workshop
We started promoting the workshop by first attending the local Scout Council District Roundtable meeting for local Scout Masters. We were then able to have the Scout Council and Districts promote the workshop in their newsletters and on their Facebook pages. There was also a link set up to go directly to a PDF of the application for the units to mail back in. Scouts were able to sign up for two of the three merit badges offered. We conducted morning and afternoon sessions on each merit badge. Each merit badge has a list of prerequisites that need to be completed prior to the workshop.
BSA Youth Protection Training
This is the BSA Youth Protection Training that is required for all members who interact with Scouts to have both SAR & BSA Youth Protection Training.
Flag Retirement Ceremony
"The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning."
