From the beginning of this Pandemic, the Buckeye Council has remained committed to providing programs for our constituents as activities have been suspended. We have launched multiple adventures through a program, with an accompanying website called Homescouting. We have provided camps as well as monthly content for youth to continue their scouting adventure and have partnered with everyone from NASA to Champion Iditarod racer Matt Failor. Through all of this, we didn’t really offer much for adults but that is about to change, starting with this year’s Baden Powell Institute through a website called LEADscouting.org. 

Part of the Baden Powell Institute (BPI) is an exclusive digital vendor area on the digital campus. BPI is a training symposium conducted for Scout leaders who cover the full array of Scouting, from Cub Scouts and Scouts, BSA to high adventure Venture Crews. Their interests lie in everything from crafts and patches to camping, high adventure equipment and venues.  The advertising and selling of your goods, products and services during this virtual event is being solicited. This virtual event is open will specifically target Scout leaders from across Northeast Ohio, however due to this event being presented virtually we are expecting over 800 Scout leaders from across the nation to tune in and view our course offerings as well as your advertisements.

Here’s how it works: Choose your level of sponsorship below. Fill in the requested information and submit your payment as instructed.  We will then contact you to obtain all the information needed to fulfill your sponsorship and get it uploaded to our web site so that your names, links, and videos will immediately become visible to those that visit our site. Your logo/information remains visible to those that join us for the opening of the event on February 6th and will remain there as long as the coursework is available for viewing (minimum of 60 days.)
