| Greetings!,
During this Thanksgiving holiday, we pause to reflect on the gifts and blessings that you and all the adult volunteer leaders who serve Scouting provide to our community, nation and world.
We are grateful for the time you spend teaching and guiding young people.
We are appreciative of your willingness to share your talents to maintain or enhance unit, district and council programs.
We are thankful to you and thousands of other people who financially support Scouting through gifts to Friends of Scouting and the United Way.
On behalf of our entire Scouting community, we wish you a Happy Thanksgiving.

 Applications Accepted For Summer Camp Staff
The success of your second-year Webelos den or troop's week at summer camp is many times determined by the quality of the staff serving you. If you have a Scout in your troop who will be 15 years old and an Eagle Scout by June 1 of the camp year--and who you believe would make a good staff member--encourage him to apply for staff. Also, Explorers and Venturers (male and female) will be interviewed for positions at the Swift Base. Camp staff members also have the opportunity to earn college scholarships ranging from $250 to $1,250 on a yearly basis. Download a Camp Staff Application (PDF) |
