Start shooting now for the Montana Council Annual Photo Contest. We love seeing those stunning images you’ve been making all year!

Scouts and Scout leaders of all ages are welcome to participate in our annual Photo Contest. Dig through those digital files, cameras, and cell phones and send us your best. Show off what your Scouts are doing in your community, or simply impress us with Montana’s splendid nature.

The deadline is Jan. 22, 2024.

There are prizes for the top three youth and the top three adult entries as well as one Grand Prize winner (youth or adult) – and of course, there’s “extra credit” for those showing Scouts in BSA uniform.
