Empower Volunteer Scout CITs & Staff at Owasippe

Donation protected
Support Our Volunteer Scouts' Summer Adventure at Owasippe Scout Reservation!

Hello, friends, family, and supporters of scouting!

This summer, I have the privilege of working closely with and mentoring a group of dedicated young leaders who are serving as unpaid volunteer counselors in training at the beautiful Owasippe Scout Reservation.

These volunteers, like 15-year-old Jamie, are embracing the Scouts of America's mission to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law.

 Why I Need Your Help

As volunteers, these young leaders are dedicating their time without financial compensation, balancing significant responsibilities while managing their personal care and growth. Being away from home for eight weeks, they are learning invaluable life skills in leadership, self-reliance, and community service.

To make their experience as enriching and enjoyable as possible, I am seeking your support for additional resources. Your donations will provide:

  • Evening Trips: Funds for counselors in training to take well-deserved trips to town during their evenings off for treats like ice cream—a fun and relaxing break. 

  • Adventure Saturdays: Contributions to cover costs for activities on their days off, essential for their personal growth and enjoyment. **How Your Support Makes a Difference** Your generous donations will provide these young volunteers with the opportunity to fully embrace their roles and enjoy their summer, despite the absence of a stipend. These experiences not only reinforce the Scouts' values of cheerfulness and friendship but also empower the counselors to return to their duties energized and inspired. By supporting their journey, you're not just helping them lead by example; you're investing in their development as ethical and moral leaders of tomorrow. 

Spread the Word

I also encourage you to share this campaign with your own network of family, friends, and fellow scouting supporters.

The more support we can gather, the more enriched and impactful this summer will be for our young leaders.

Your shares and contributions extend far beyond a simple donation—they become part of a larger effort to nurture the next generation of leaders.

Please consider making a donation today, and help me spread the word. Every contribution, big or small, supports these enthusiastic young volunteers and enriches their summer experience.

Thank you for your support and for joining me in nurturing the next generation of leaders!

Yours in scouting,
Bill
