Our outreach programs are growing stronger every day. Staff and volunteers are working diligently to provide improved outdoor experiences before and beyond residence camp this summer. In the last four months, Cubs and Scouts have enjoyed several camping trips including outings to Camp Grimes, Belk Scout Camp and South Mountain. Pioneering, first aid, cooking, hiking, climbing, C.O.P.E. and a host of other merit badges and advancement activities have been achieved thanks to our committed staff and volunteers.

The Scouting through Soccer program ends another spring season with three new chartered partners and dozens of youth excited about summer residence camp in July. The collaboration between Scouting and sports is proving to be a greater success than we imagined. Scouts and their families are continuing to participate in more traditional Scout activities and events, including camp card sales and residence camps. Best of all, we have two more Scouts from the Scouting through Soccer program that will be working on their Eagle projects after summer camp.

Fun Days concluded to rave reviews. We added 5 new schools to our camp day outings at Belk Scout Camp. With an increased presence in CMS high schools, our Learning for Life programs for youth with disabilities will only grow this year. We look forward to the new partnerships that are forming as a result of expanding our programs to include the CMS Occupational Course of Study classes. A special thank you goes to the men and women of Wells Fargo who volunteered their time to help us kick off our first Fun Day for the season.
