Baltimore Area Council Jewish Committee on Scouting
The BAC JCoS is a group of dedicated Jewish Scouters working together to ensure that the 12th point of the Scout law is an integral part of every Jewish Scout's experience. We provide a full range of Jewish programming to encourage Jewish Scouts to earn their religious emblems, celebrate their Jewish identity in scouting activities and promote the spirit of brotherhood and understanding among Jewish Scouts, as well as between Jewish Scouts and Scouts of other faiths.
Storytelling is almost the oldest art in the world, the first conscious form of literary communication. In many cultures it still survives, and it is not an uncommon thing to see a crowd at a street corner held by the simple narration of stories. There are signs of a growing interest in this ancient art, and we may yet live to see the renaissance of the storyteller and the troubadour.
Learn how to prepare for storytelling and how to effectively use stories for healing many of today's ills. Revive the wonder and mystery of teaching through storytelling. Rediscover the ancient uses of religious storytelling to counsel, heal, teach and guide one on their spiritual path.
