GOLDEN EMPIRE COUNCIL

 BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA 

 

IT’S A GREAT DAY FOR SCOUTING IN THE GOLDEN EMPIRE COUNCIL

 

The Golden Empire Council, BSA benefitted from Scouting’s 100th anniversary festivities of 2010. The activities which successfully reintroduced Scouting to the American public helped stabilize the Council’s operating expenses and culminated with a positive fund balance.

 

Growth in youth membership and Boy Scout resident and Cub Scout day camp attendance has been a reflection of the positive energy and activity taking place within the service area of the Golden Empire Council.

 

The governing body, the Executive Board, is in the process of finalizing the Councils’ next five year Strategic Plan focusing on Field Operations, Administrative Functions, Financial Forecast and Leadership and Stewardship.

 

Two items that Rotary members were asked to consider supporting include a popcorn sales program designed to help Scouts to earn money to pay for their personal Scouting expenses. Any money generated through Rotary Sales would support the Council’s campership fund to help disadvantaged youth.

 

The second item is a luncheon to be held on November 30, 2012 to honor the Teichert Company and the significant positive commitment the Company has made to Sacramento during its 125 year existence.

 

Jim concluded his remarks by thanking Rotary Club Foundation and the Rotary Club for its past support of the Golden Empire Council.
