Each year during Scouting Anniversary Week, the Northern Lights Council makes a report on the status of Scouting to the Governor of North Dakota. This event, sponsored by the Bismarck Rotary Club, will be held in Bismarck and virtually on Wednesday, February 10th.

An important aspect of this report is the participation of two Cub Scouts, two Scouts and two Venturers/Explorers from North Dakota.  These Scouts each have different roles during the report, such as giving the invocation, the Pledge of Allegiance, introducing the Governor, etc.  It is a truly meaningful experience for all the Scouts who participate.

Should your nominated Scout be chosen to participate in the report, he/she and his/her parents and the unit leader will be expected to be available via zoom from 11:45 am to 1 pm and possibly at various times in the afternoon for roundtable conversations with various other government officials. The Scout will also be expected to be in full uniform and to have a quality video and microphone setup.  We will have several components available for local Bismarck/Mandan Scouts.

To nominate a Scout to be part of this report, please complete the nomination form and submit by January 12, 2021.
