What is a SCOUT ACCOUNT?

If you participated in the Popcorn Fundraiser Sale back in October 2011, than your son would have earn monies that you can use toward scout related activities, uniforms and any items that are sold in the COLBSA Scout Shop at 22nd & Winters Streets.

Your sons Scout Account reflects 50% of 1/3 the revenue he collected. For example, if your son sold $300, 1/3 is $100.00, then he would get 50% of the $100 which is $50. 

Scout Account funds may be used for upcoming events such as Academy of Natural Sciences, Constitution Center, Phillies Games, Cuboree, etc.

February is Black History Month and you can start off at the Liberty 360 Show in the PECO Theater, at the Historic Philadelphia Center. Bring history to life with free family fun just across from the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall!

  • Stories for everyone - Once Upon A Nation Storyteller tells interactive, lesser-known stories about African Americans who helped shape America
  • Kids' silhouette crafts - Cut-paper profiles are one example of how Americans had their portraits made before the invention of photography. About the size of a baseball card, they show a person's face from a side view.  One of America's best known profile artists was Moses Williams, an enslaved African American
  • An appearance by Octavius Catto - Octavius Catto was a black educator, an intellectual, and a civil rights leader well ahead of his time.  How did Octavius help shape civil rights?  Would he ultimately pay for his activism?  Find out at Reflections of Black History at Liberty 360 / the Historic Philadelphia Center!
  • February 4 & 5; 2-5pm at the Historic Philadelphia Center, home of Liberty 360 in the PECO Theater
