As we kick off 2026, the spirit of Scouting is alive and well across our council. From Eagle Scout projects in Eugene and Medford to official recognitions by county officials, our Scouts have been busy making a tangible difference.Â
Here is a look at some of the top stories featuring our Scouts and council in the news during January and February.

In mid-February, Payshens, a Scout from Troop 7, completed her Eagle Scout project at the Crossings at Rogue Retreat in Medford. The project involved the construction and installation of new garden beds for the facility, which provides transitional housing and support services. These beds will allow residents to grow their own food and find therapeutic value in gardening – a perfect example of how Scouting service directly supports our most vulnerable neighbors.
