Those of us that live a stones throw from the Erie Canal grew up singing "15 Miles on The Erie Canal" but do we really take the time to learn about how important this man made wonder is to our area?  A new official Scout award will help you do just that.

Laudato Si means Praise to You and is part of the beautiful canticle of Saint Francis of Assisi. It reminds us that our common home, the Earth, is like a sister that we share our life with and our beautiful mother who welcomes us into her arms. We need to learn how to care for our common home and understand that how we treat our home reflects how we care for each other.
