Governor’s Luncheon for Scouting: 25th Annual Celebration of Scouting! December 15th, 11:30-1 pm
This annual event kicks off the local Crossroads of America Council’s annual fundraising campaign for 2021. In December 2019, donors contributed more than $1,000,000 to support Scouting programs in 26 counties in central Indiana for 2020. Your support will allow the BSA to continue character development and teach life skills in person and remotely through dedicated parents, volunteers, and staff through innovative strategies.
If your unit is interested in hosting a table this year, please reach out to Eddie Stahl or Liv Fairchild.
If you have committed to being a table host, please consider joining us for a virtual orientation on November 11th from 9-9:45 am.
