C10 Full Circle - June 10, 2026: School's Out. Adventure's On.

June

Summer is an exciting time across Circle Ten Council. Scouts are exploring the outdoors, serving their communities, and preparing for an unforgettable summer.

Summer has kicked off at Circle Ten Council!

Let the summer adventures begin! Summer camp season is upon us, and anticipation is building for the new memories and new experiences to be had. We’re also celebrating our graduating Scouts as they head onto their next adventures, prepared for whatever comes next by their time in Scouting and the values imparted.

Hear from One of America's Most Influential Leaders

This fall, Circle Ten Council welcomes Dr. Condoleezza Rice to the Leadership Luncheon.

As former U.S. Secretary of State, educator, author, and advocate for youth development, Dr. Rice has spent a lifetime leading with courage, conviction, and character. Her story, insights, and leadership lessons promise to make this one of the most memorable Scouting events of the year.

Join Scouters, parents, alumni, and supporters from across the council as we celebrate the impact of Scouting and hear from a leader whose values closely reflect those we strive to instill in every young person.

We are offering a special individual rate for our Scouting families. Reach out to Karen.Thunert@scouting.org for details.

You Don’t Rise to the Occasion. You Rise to the Plan.

Strong units don’t guess their way to growth. They plan for it.

Thank you for your continued support of Scouting and for helping administer the Life Skills Survey.

Each year, we invite parents, leaders, and community partners to help us secure feedback on the impact of our programs. This input helps us understand how well we are delivering on our mission to build character, leadership, and life skills in every Scout.

The insights gathered do more than guide improvements. They also provide important data that helps secure funding for vital initiatives like programs, camp improvements, and expanded opportunities for youth across our council.

We ask that you encourage as many Scouts as possible to participate, with each Scout completing their own survey.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective and help strengthen the Scouting experience for all.

Christmas in July: 10,000 for the Troops

It's never too early to spread a little holiday cheer!

We're excited to announce Scouting America's participation in the 10,000 for the Troops service project again this year, bringing a touch of home to military service members during the holiday season. Rather than waiting until November, we're encouraging Scouts, families, and volunteers to start creating holiday cards this summer.

Cub Scouts: This is a great opportunity to work toward the Summertime Fun Adventure while giving back to those who serve our country.

Scouts of All Ages: Whether you're in Scouts BSA, Venturing, Sea Scouts, or Exploring, your cards can make a meaningful impact on someone serving far from home.

Adults Too: Parents, leaders, alumni, and supporters are invited to join in. This is a service project the entire Scouting family can participate in together.

Use this as an opportunity for your den, patrol, crew, ship, unit, or family to gather over the summer and create heartfelt holiday messages. Every card helps remind our troops that they are remembered, appreciated, and supported by their communities back home.

Completed cards can now be turned in at either Circle Ten Council office (you don't have to wait until November).

Together, let's help deliver thousands of smiles and make this a holiday season to remember for those who serve.

Better communication. Stronger units. More adventures. That's where we're headed.

We know your inbox is busy, and we want to make sure the information you receive from Circle Ten Council is timely, relevant, and useful.

Over the next few months, you'll begin to notice some changes to our communication strategy. Rather than sending the same information to everyone, we'll be delivering content that is more tailored to your role and your family's Scouting journey.

Families will receive information about upcoming adventures and opportunities. Leaders will receive resources, tools, and important updates to help their units succeed. New families will receive guidance to help them get the most out of Scouting and discover all the opportunities available to them.

Our goal is simple: provide the right information, to the right people, at the right time.

We're excited about this next step in improving the Circle Ten experience and helping every Scout, parent, and volunteer get the most from Scouting.

Stay tuned—there's more to come!
