Summer 2012 - a great start!



PR and Marketing
Eagle Scout, Shane Victorino invited several of our scouts to the ballpark last week and spent time with them talking about Scouts, and the perseverance it takes to be an Eagle and a professional ball player. Read the article from Boston.com

Scout Hero! Joe Ford a 19 year old life guard in Lowell recently saved a young boy’s life. What the article didn’t mention is Joe is an Eagle Scout from Troop 502 in Woburn. Check out the article in the Boston Globe

Great coverage in the Boston Business Journal!  
Thanks to all the Eagle Scout - Business leaders who continue to support Scouting!


Summer Camp


All three camps are up and running and the initial reviews are great. The new food service at T.L. Storer Scout Reservation is receiving GREAT reviews, the Boy Scout Day Camp is exceeding everyone’s expectation and the new location (Camp Norse) for Family Camp has all our parents excited and pleased with the move! All this combined with the success of our April vacation STEM camp and the growth of the weekend program at Sayre add up to a great camping year.
