A large part of scouting is about outdoor education. |
I think there is something for everybody. There are things for the adults to enjoy as well as the kids. The whole emphasis behind this is to showcase scouting and show what we've got going on ... and to encourage young people who aren't involved in scouting to become involved. |
This award goes to the best of the best. It's the people that not only devote a countless amount of hours for Scouting, but is also a recognition for their service to the community and ... to youth outside of Scouting. |
We were fortunate this year to get them involved with us. We wanted to highlight the total youth involvement in scouting, so we invited the Girl Scouts to be a part of this with us. It will be a true display of the values young people get out of scouting. |
We'll put a sign up on the hole for them and they'll still help send a Scout to camp. |
We've actually had two or three of these and out of the funds we've raised, we've helped 283 kids go to camp that financially wouldn't have been able to go. It's been pretty beneficial for us. All of the money raised helps send Scouts to camp. |
