  INVEST in Scouting! During this past year of turmoil, it’s easy to get distracted from the BIG picture. Specifically - focusing on our future and what we can do about it. A most vital part of our future is building our youth. Scouting is one of the best ways for youth to obtain values that builds strong individual character, strengthens families, and sustains peaceful communities. Our values-based leadership program of Boy Scouts is more important than ever. Please consider making an investment in our Scouting youth. Scouts of all ages continue to live by the Scout Oath and Law, to “help other people at all times” and to “Be Prepared.” Even with the 2020 commotion - we have expanded our programming to include virtual events like: Day Camp in a Box, Camp It Out, and Merit Badge Madness. All these modules are online and currently available. Many Cub Scout, Scouts BSA and Venture Units are conducting Zoom meetings and are enjoying small activities, where allowed. All of which complies with the state & local guidelines for safe gatherings. Most importantly - Our girl troops are growing! We even have our first group of Girl Eagle Scouts receiving their awards. Your gift will help scouting "Be Prepared" as we get through COVID and can begin to offer our outdoor programs. All donations stay right here in Northern California area and will be used to help keep our programs, camps and youth secure. Scouting needs you now -- more than ever. Thank YOU for your heartfelt consideration and unwavering support of the Golden Empire Council, Boy Scouts of America!
