Disney offers a series of education classes for youth groups at Walt Disney World and Disneyland. These classes are part of the Disney Youth Education Series. YES programs give students –and their leaders/teachers – a hands-on, educational adventure.

Then, witness a very special display as the curtain rises to reveal each and every United States President, together for the very first time—followed by speeches delivered by Presidents George Washington and Donald J. Trump.“

My Family Tree for the Core Value: Faith
Faith means having inner strength and confidence based on trust in a higher power. Understanding one’s family tree, ancestors, and heritage brings stories to life of the strength and confidence of our family members. It also tells of their belief and trust in a higher power to help bring them safely to the United States. In years past, many immigrants traveled by boat. What faith they had in that boat that would change their lives! Courtesy April 2013 Cub Scout Meeting Guide
