Pack and troop leaders from the Central Minnesota Council of the Boy Scouts of America will be available Thursday, September 22nd from 6 to 7 pm. at several local elementary schools to sign up new Cub and Boy Scouts.

 

School Night for Scouting is effort to recruit new Cub Scouts by bringing the sign-up process to their school.

 

“My son asked me if he could join Cub Scouts and I said yes right away, because I knew the program teaches boys good character values and how to be good citizens,” said DJ Collins, a leader with Cub Scout Pack 43 in Brainerd, Minn.  “When he joined I joined as well and I have just as much fun as he does.”

The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is 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.

 

Scouting instills values in young boys and young men through service, education, outdoor adventure and other programming.

 

In 2013, service projects were conducted by more than 2.6 million youth members and more than 1 million volunteers scouting wide, according to the Boy Scouts of American national office.

 

Every new Cub Scout who signs up on September 22nd will receive a Frisbee with the Heroes Start Here logo.

 

All new Cub Scouts will also have an opportunity to earn their first badge at the new Scout orientation day October 1st at the Scout Office in Sartell.
