EnglishWhere to Find ONSC Council Calendars, News, and Scouting Resources
Updated
The Old North State Council (ONSC) website, onsc.org, is the main entry point for council calendars, weekly news, and program resources for Scouting families in the greater Greensboro area. The homepage links directly to the ONSC and district calendars, a weekly news section, joining information, popcorn sales, and Cherokee Scout Reservation. Use the calendar for campouts, trainings, and community events; use the news and program links for day-to-day unit and family needs.
Calendars: Campouts, Trainings, and Community Events
ONSC states that "there's always something happening in Scouting, from campouts and service projects to trainings and community events," and directs members to check the council calendar regularly to keep their unit, family, and themselves connected.
- ONSC & District Calendars — the homepage links to a combined council and district calendar section. This is the place to confirm dates for council-wide events and for activities run by your specific district.
- Why check regularly — the site frames the calendar as the way to "be in the know, join in the fun," so treat it as the source of truth before committing to a campout or training date.
- Districts — ONSC serves eight counties through five districts (Rockingham, Caswell, Person, Guilford, Alamance, Randolph, Davidson, and Davie). If your event is district-level, look for your district's listing within the calendar section rather than only the council-wide view.
Expected result: you should be able to identify upcoming council and district events and confirm dates before registering or planning unit activities.
Weekly News and Updates
The homepage includes a Weekly News You Can Use section. This is the council's recurring update channel for current announcements. Check it alongside the calendar when you need the latest council information rather than just event dates.
Program and Joining Resources
The site groups several practical resources that members and prospective families use:
| Resource | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Join Scouting / Join Cub Scouts | Entry point for new youth and families |
| Program pages | Cub Scouts (boys and girls, grades K–5, ages 5–10), Scouts BSA (grades 6–12, ages 11–17), Venturing, Exploring, and Sea Scouts (all co-ed, ages 14–20) |
| Popcorn Sales | Council fundraising program |
| Cherokee Scout Reservation | The council's "premier camp," offering summer programs and year-round adventures |
Cherokee Scout Reservation
If you are looking for camp-specific information, the homepage links to Discover Cherokee Scout Reservation, described as the council's premier camp with summer programs and year-round adventures. Start there for camp details rather than the general calendar.
A Practical Way to Stay Current
- Open onsc.org and go to the ONSC & District Calendars link to check upcoming events.
- Read Weekly News You Can Use for current announcements.
- Use the program and joining links when you need registration or age/grade details.
- For camp planning, follow the Cherokee Scout Reservation link.
One caveat: the homepage excerpt does not list specific event dates, registration deadlines, or fees. Confirm those details on the calendar and program pages themselves before making plans.
