Boy Scouts To Host Recruiting Sessions

The Boy Scouts of America wants to make it easy to join Cub Scouting.

So on Thursday, Aug. 20, boys and their families will be able to sign up for scouting at a number of locations across Bartow and Gordon counties.

Cub Scouting is for boys in the first through fifth grades. The program combines outdoor activities, sports and academics in a fun and exciting program that helps families teach ideals such as honesty, good citizenship and respect.

Last year, more than 5,000 youth participated in Scouting programs across Northwest Georgia Council.

The signups will take place at 7 p.m. at elementary schools throughout Bartow and Gordon county elementary schools. Cartersville Elementary School and Calhoun Elementary School will also host signup sessions.

Scouting fliers will be distributed in schools before the scheduled roundups. Interested boys and parents are encouraged to attend a meeting in their neighborhood elementary school.

The Boy Scouts of America comprises more than one million volunteers working together for the sole purpose of helping its nearly three million youth succeed in life.
