U.S. Scouting Service Project

The USSSP continued to grow, adding Scouters from around the country with specialized talents who contributed many hours of time and resources to the project.

All of the board members have served at the local Council level as unit leaders, commissioners and committee chairs and collectively have more than 400 years of service.

Board members are Wood Badge trained and many have been honored with the BSA's Silver Beaver Award for distinguished service to one or several local Councils.

In addition, other member sites (for instance, several branches of Mike Walton's Tree [j]; Mike Kauffmann's Merit Badges.org [k]; and Don deYoung's Cub Scouting website)[l] are elements of this "largest community of reference and resource materials geared to the American Boy Scouting programs found on the Internet's World Wide Web."

There is also a USSSP discussion group called "Embers" which offer reflection, support and inspiration to volunteers and parents.
