Boy Scout Troop 288 in Morgan County is working to raise funds for our annual “Sponsor a Scout” campaign to benefit our local scouts. The highlight of a Scout’s year is participating in summer camp at the Muskingum Valley Scout Reservation. This week-long camp is worth 6 months of local training and gives them intensified outdoor and personal experiences. 

The involvement of business and community leaders is essential to the success of our campaign. A gift to this project goes toward the youth in our community. The Scouts participate in a variety of community service projects, with several new ones planned for this year. 

It’s a good time to get involved as Scouting is needed more than ever before. Gifts will enable our Scouts to afford summer camp and participate in a year-long program of adventure, education, and fun! The cost for summer camp is $270 per scout. 

Attending summer camp is an essential part of the scouting experience for participating young people.

Gifts to this project can support a Scout throughout the year, whether by paying annual membership dues, providing a Scout with a uniform, or even supporting their entire summer camp experience!

Extracurricular activities like Boy Scouts can provide so much to participating young people and gifts to this project will enable participation for young people who might not otherwise have access the value programming and mentorship scouting provides.
