Beyond the Campfire

It all started with a spark — a spark that turned into a campfire… and then into something more.

My name is Lois, one of the first female Eagle Scouts in Circle Ten Council, Scouting America, and I earned 47 merit badges chasing adventure, challenge, and growth.

But Scouting isn’t just tents and s’mores. It’s leadership. It’s courage. It’s values you carry for life. And that’s what this series is about.

Welcome to Beyond the Campfire — where we share stories of Scouts and leaders who took the lessons of Scouting and built something bigger. From wild hikes to boardrooms, from community service to global missions, we’re talking to the changemakers who live out the Scout Law… even long after the embers fade.
