Boy Scouts kick off Friends of Scouting campaign
NORWICH – The Chenango District of the Baden-Powell Council, Boy Scouts of America announces the kickoff of its 2011 Friends of Scouting Campaign which will benefit over 800 Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Venturers and Explorers in Chenango County. The FOS campaign chairman is Timothy McKown from NBT Bank in Norwich.
For the past 101 years it has been the mission of the Boy Scouts of America to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law. In order for the Chenango District to continue its mission of service to local youth over $60,000 must be raised.
“The Friends of Scouting campaign is a very important way to show support for Scouting,” said Chenango District Chairman Dominic Shea. “Through the support of individuals and businesses in our community, youth are able to make life-long memories and acquire skills that they could obtain in no other way.”
It is through the generosity of individual donors and organizations that the Council can continue to provide a Scouting program that is affordable for local youth, provide resources and training for area leaders, and each year reach out to another generation of Chenango county youth.
This past year, of the 75 young men that earned their prestigious Eagle Scout Award from the Baden-Powell Council, 15 were from Chenango County.
Now, more than ever, the Scouting program needs the support of the citizens of Chenango County. Locally, the Boy Scout program does not receive government funding, cannot charge dues to its youth members and does not receive support from the Chenango County United Way.
