Support Scouts in Need This Holiday Season
There are two ways to support our scouts this holiday season. One is to follow this link from the Scouting Blog Celebrating the Season of Generosity. It includes its history and how to participate and make a scout smile this holiday season.
The second way is MemorialScoutCamp.org. There are many scouts who are in need of essential camping equipment and other supplies for high adventure activities. Check out MemorialScoutCamp.org to learn more about helping our needy scouts follow their outdoor dreams. You can donate to their cause or recommend a scout to receive their support.
