Why Attend Annual Convention

Three Important Words: Fellowship, Education & Celebration

If you haven’t yet attended one of the Montana Council’s Annual Conventions, let me share something we’re NOT keeping a secret – they’re a blast!

It’s not always easy to meet in person to connect with fellow Scouters across the council. The Convention is our chance to come together, celebrate the successes of Scouting, reflect on the challenges, and find camaraderie within the organization.


ANNUAL CONVENTION

Billings Hotel & Convention Center
April 25 – 27, 2025


This year marks the 12th annual Scouter Appreciation Night! The evening of revelry is our opportunity to praise the numerous outstanding volunteers who make our program great. We get to recognize districts for their growth, their community impact, and – most importantly – we celebrate the individuals who make Scouting happen.

There is A LOT to celebrate this year!

Calling all Parrotheads! This year’s theme is Jimmy Buffett. Leave your worries behind and join us beachside as we take a trip to Margaritaville for an evening of games, camaraderie, and fun.

Along with celebrating the fellowship in Scouting, the convention offers a wide range of educational sessions that help you enhance your skills, knowledge, and expertise.

Previous year seminar courses have covered topics like:

  • I Need More Volunteers!
  • New Cub Scout Program
  • How Scouting is Funded
  • Recruiting for Packs, Troops, and Crews

These are just a few examples of the nine breakout sessions we’ll have throughout Saturday. We’ll be posting the full list soon to the Council Convention homepage of our website.

Finally, Saturday night we recognize our 2024 class of Silver Beavers. As you know, the Silver Beaver Award is one we hold in the highest esteem in Montana Council. Recipients of this award have positively impacted the lives of youth through service given to the council. Those recognized are a sample of all of the outstanding work that goes on in the council on behalf of our volunteers.

These are only a few reasons we hope you can attend. To summarize convention in three words, join us for: Fellowship, Education, and Celebration.

Register before April 1, 2025, and save with Early Bird Fees.
