I have tried to find out how I can contribute money to a specific Boy Scout Troop. But to no avail.

I’m a long time Scouter and believe whole heartedly in the program, principles and ethics associated with Scouting. If only the nation could undergo some “reconnection” as well ...

My 7-year old joined the Cub Scouts in October. We are right now working on his first Pinewood Derby Car. I'm having the time of my life reliving my childhood through him. And I just turned 50 so I need this as much as he does.

Ah, the Boy Scouts.

Eagle Scout with two Palms here.

I well remember Boy Scout camp in the summer. Went for 4 years and was a counselor for 4 years.
Wonderful times.

Still give generously to the council where I was.

The Boy Scouts need financial help now more than ever.

If you can, GIVE.

I’ll give you MY address, and you can support TWO Scouts!

Best moment; 1995 at my brother’s wake (he was Assist. Scoutmaster at 79) when five young men told me if it weren’t for my brother and me they would all be in jail right now and thanked me.

Former Troop founder and Committee Chair - two sons both Eagle and Order of the Arrow. Tons of work, but the rewards are priceless. Still contribute to the local council even though we moved away years ago. I still miss going to summer camp with the boys. Watching them grow in confidence and leadership was a thing of beauty that I will always treasure. We had a small troop but in 8 years we saw 16 boys reach Eagle.
