There is something Freepers can do to help the Boy Scouts, if you own suitable facilities. You can let the Scouts meet there. My husband and I own a ranch that was once a Boy Scout Camp. We let Boy Scouts camp there in exchange for doing chores for us. They provide us with a certificate of insurance listing us as an additional named insured, in case anyone gets hurt.

They have patched roads for us, cleaned out the pond, cut brush for a short while however they do a lot of work with many hands. They spend the rest of the day hiking or fishing or doing whatever they do. There are boy scout Camps in our area, but they charge quite a bit of money. Our Scouts bring their own food and tents and porta potty facilities, and work for an hour or so, and otherwise it is free. This works great for them, and for us, and we have done it for years.

As an active Scouter in the midwest, I thank you for all you do to support the Scouts in your area. There are many people out there like you that just “do what needs to be done”...

Thank you....
