2026 Tidewater University of Scouting

Tidewater Council’s University of Scouting is being held again this year on Saturday, March 7th at ODU. (There are some classes Friday night as well.) This is a great opportunity for all scouts and leaders to grow and learn. Scouts can take merit badge classes and other youth training. Leaders have many class choices to pick from, all taught by seasoned scouters. It’s a great networking event as well. Those who have attended in the past have always walked away with useful knowledge that they can apply to our troop’s upcoming activities.

Registration is open now at https://scoutingevent.com/596-UOS2026. By "pre-registering" and paying now, you can select your classes this Wednesday evening. General registration opens on Sunday, Feb 8th. The cost is very minimal and the location is close by, but if anyone needs help with payment or transportation, please just shoot me a message.

See you all Tuesday. Until then, be prepared and stay warm!
