special events are sold out, and theyâre expecting many thousands
of families â some new to scouting, some who left during the
pandemic â to sign up now that activities are occurring in-person
rather than virtually.
Americaâs most iconic youth organizations the Boy Scouts of America and the Girl Scouts of the USA â have been jolted by unprecedented one-year drops in membership, due partly to the pandemic, and partly to social trends that have been shrinking their ranks for decades.

We need help : Haiti s interim leader requests US troops
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) â Haitiâs interim government has asked the U.S. and U.N. to deploy troops to protect key infrastructure as it tries to stabilize the country and prepare for elections in the aftermath of President Jovenel Moïseâs assassination.
The stunning request for U.S. military support recalled the tumult following Haitiâs last presidential assassination, in 1915, when an angry mob dragged President Vilbrun Guillaume Sam out of the French Embassy and beat him to death. In response, President Woodrow Wilson sent the Marines into Haiti, justifying the American military occupation â which lasted nearly two decades â as a way to avert anarchy.
