Camperships are available, based on need and availability, to help Scouts with the financial aspect of attending camp.

Youth members are expected to earn their own way in Scouting and each unit should provide an opportunity for Scouts to participate in fundraising activities.

Forms are available on the Council Website. Awards will be limited to NO MORE THAN 50% of the cost of attending camp. Please note that the amount of the request IS NOT a guarantee of receipt.

Camperships are only available for "in-council" camps. The application must be fully complete - be detailed! Any incomplete applications will be returned. Please follow the guidelines with the application.

All applications must be received at the Council Office by March 1st, 2012.

Late submissions will not be accepted. The $50 deposit for camp must be submitted with the application. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that units submit all applications from their unit together, after approval by the unit leader, with the required deposit, together with the appropriate camp deposit payment record.

Subject: Men's Ministry & Fellowship - Cabaret - Saturday 18 February 2012
To: "J.R. Brockman" <brock.man@comcast.net>

Dear Parents,

The Men's Ministry & Fellowship of St. Thomas Church is the sponsoring organization of the Scouts at St. Thomas. Last year they contributed more than $1,000.00 to the Scout Program directed primarily to the Boy Scouts especially in the area of helping Scouts attend summer camp. Just this year they raised their dues from $20 to $30 per year so that $10 of the membership dues could be devoted just to Scouting. This Saturday 18 February they will have a Cabaret as part of their annual fundraiser. Proceeds from this event will go to the Scout program. I am urging all parents to consider attending or making a donation. I will have tickets on Saturday.
