#GivingTuesday
________________________________________________________________________________
This is the global day of giving. So I thought it would be fitting
to remind you to give to our future. There are many ways to give your gift- through
time, money, goods, services, and your voice. Each of these are equally
valuable to our Scouting movement. The youth that we work with today will soon
become leaders of our tomorrow. There are several different exciting programs
that could be benefitted by your gift.
The Boy Scouts of America reaches both boys and girls of different ages
though a variety of programs and pilot programs. It is great to see this
organization thrive for well over 100 years. This is all thanks to those who
gave their gift of time, money, and service.
Most of you probably have
heard of Cub Scouts
(1st-5th grade) and Boy Scouts
(11yrs-18yrs). However, many people may not know about Venturing,
a co-ed program (14yrs-20yrs) that’s basis is high adventure but it can be
formed into other themes with the focus on leadership, citizenship, and positive
development. For those of you who love the water, Sea Scouts
would be for you. This teaches leadership and teamwork while on the water. This
program is co-ed for youth 14yrs-20yrs of age. Exploring is also co-ed (14yrs-20yrs) and is designed
for youth to explore their career of choice and get experience. This way they
know what path they want to take. Exploring Club
is for middle schoolers (10yrs-13yrs) who want to learn more about what
different kind of careers paths are out there.
As some of you know we in the Daniel Boone Council have a few packs
piloting the Lions
program, which is for kindergarteners. With over 60 Lion Scouts, we are excited
to offer this program to our youth!
If you choose to give though donation, please make it out to Daniel
Boone Council with #GivingTuesday in the memo- 333 West Haywood St. Asheville,
NC 28801
So please join me in giving back in whatever way possible. Let’s
give back to our future… however, not like the movie. I say it this way so it
sticks with you:
Don’t forget to
remember to give back to our future!
Yours in Scouting,
Sarah Barnett
