Support Minneapolis Scouting!
For 100 years, Scouting has provided youth with opportunities that reinforce the ideals of trustworthiness, honor, leadership, resourcefulness, and respect for others and the environment. Whether these opportunities happen while kids are planning a camping trip, hiking with map and compass, or building a foot bridge, the resulting teamwork teaches Scouts that they have the strength to do more than they ever imagined.
How you can help!
If your beliefs are in line with the goals of this great organization, please consider a financial gift. It takes just over $171 a year to support a single Scout in a year worth of programming. Please consider giving at least a gift of $171, to help sustain and grow the Scouting program in Minneapolis and beyond.
Since our founding in 1910, Scouting has fostered the ideals of character, citizenship and personal fitness. In these times of economic turmoil, political scandal, and military conflict many wonder … Why is Scouting still relevant?
- Scouting serves all youth. Rich, poor or middle-income; regardless of race, religion or physical ability. Help is available for those unable to pay Scouting’s modest fees.
- Scouting provides positive role models. Caring parents, adults and community leaders help to provide programs and opportunities for Scouts to learn and grow.
- Scouting is relevant. Scouting helps youth to face and deal with issues like drug abuse, child abuse, illiteracy, hunger and teenage unemployment that they may face in this ever changing world.
- Scouting strengthens the family unit. Scouting is a family centered program designed to form a lifetime bond between a young person and his family.
- Scouting provides service to the community. Scouting for Food, a community wide food drive, service projects, and volunteerism are organized for each youth to participate in service to others.
- Scouting is fun and adventure for a young person. With so many dangerous places for young people, Scouting provides meetings, activities and camps where a young person can explore nature, test physical skills and grow leadership abilities in a safe and positive way.
Please consider giving a gift to Scouting. The leaders of tomorrow need your help today. Feel free to contact me with any questions at 763-231-7235 or mevano@nsbsa.org. Thank you for your support!
Yours in Scouting,
Michael Evano - Metro Lakes District Executive
