In times of uncertainty, the Scouts have always been willing and able to help. Currently we are being called to stay home and practice social distancing. However, we have many essential personnel who are going to work to keep us safe.
Below is a list of essential personnel and first responders from within the 6 county New Birth of Freedom Council footprint. Scroll down to your county and start thanking our Community Helpers!
We are inviting all of our Scouting families and units to reach out and share words of encouragement and thanks. A Scout is Cheerful, so please help us spread the cheer in these difficult times. Share your photos of your projects on our Facebook page and use #Scoutingcares.
This list is just a start. We are actively working to confirm contact information and will continue to update the list daily. If your local emergency responders are not on the list, please send their contact information to Rebekah.Schardt@scouting.org.
To gift Camp Cards to our local First Responders and Medical Providers (while earning money for your unit) visit the Virtual Camp Card Sale for more information.
PLEASE NOTE: Youth Protection Polices are still in place. If youth members will be e-mailing Departments, please make sure that a second adult is included on the e-mail.
