This week, we wanted to alert you that three of our cartoonists are participating in a very special way in the National Scout Jamboree. Over the course of 10 summer days, once every four years, the Boy Scouts of America comes together for a one-of-a-kind flagship event. It's a gathering of approximately 45,000 Scouts, leaders, and staff that showcases everything that is great about the Boy Scouts of America and its members.

Reprising their roles from 2013, John Hambrock ("The Brilliant Mind of Edison Lee"), Ron Ferdinand ("Dennis the Menace" - Sunday) and Marcus Hamilton ("Dennis the Menace" - Daily) have joined others from the cartooning community to create a special "nod-to-Scouting" tribute comic strip. Check out the BSA story here and then look for the Edison Lee and Dennis comics this coming week!
