Messengers of Peace, the World Organization of the Scout Movement’s initiative dedicated to building a culture of peace worldwide, has been realigned to better empower Scouts as peace-builders and global citizens. The program now features five new learning paths, giving Scouts the freedom to engage in the way that inspires them most. These paths connect directly to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals—and Scouts who embark on them may also be on their way to earning a Messengers of Peace Award.

The Boy Scouts of America's Youth Protection guidelines discourages one on one contact between Scouts and leaders. That's not just for in-person but also online and electronic communications. To comply with these guidelines Troop 22 has established an account on GroupMe, a group texting application. The smart-phone app is free to download and uses text messaging to share with the entire troop.
