NKY History Hour: Exploring a Century of Scouting

COVINGTON, KY – From the time the first troop in the U.S. was formed in the Commonwealth more than 100 years ago, thousands of Northern Kentucky youth have learned survival, service and leadership skills as members of the Boy Scouts of America.

Join speaker Shane Noem in this week’s Northern Kentucky History Hour at 6:30 p.m.  Wednesday, Jan. 27, for “A Century of Scouting: The History of Boy Scouts in NKY,” a deep dive into the development of this time-honored organization and how it became an integral part of our region’s heritage.
