NEW UNITS
Studies have proven what common sense would tell us that the more opportunites that are available for boys to join quality scouting units in our area the more boys we will have involved in our program. We are always looking for churches and organizations that would like to adopt Scouting as a part of their program. If you know of a group or organization that you feel would benefit from having a Scouting program, please let us know by calling Charlie Herbst at 334-3297.
W.D BOYCE NEW UNIT ORGANIZER AWARD
