Council Updates from Scout Executive
- May Month of Service Initiative
- Summer Camp Update
- Service Center Reopening
- May Events and Activities
May Month of ServiceOur movement is founded on the core belief that we “help other people at all times” while “doing a good turn daily.” In response to the economic impact and uncertainty in our community surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, I am calling on all members to dedicate a small portion of time this month to worthy service projects for our neighbors and community. Youth members, adult leaders, parents, and the community at large are encouraged to commit to 20 hours of service to others during the month of May 2020.
