We want to highlight important points that are most relevant to the Connecticut Rivers Council:

• The Connecticut Rivers Council has not filed for bankruptcy. Our Council is legally separate, distinct and financially independent from the national organization.
• Scouting programs will continue. This means that unit meetings and activities, district and council events, other Scouting adventures and countless service projects will take place as usual. In short, we expect no changes to the local Scouting experience in the Connecticut area.
• Scouting is safer now than ever before. Over many years, we’ve developed some of the strongest expert-informed youth protection policies found in any youth-serving organization. I can also assure you that our volunteers and employees take youth protection extremely seriously and do their part to help keep kids safe.
• Restricted donations – past, present or future – can only be used for their designated purpose. In addition, the annual giving campaign and other annual donations made to our Council will continue to fund necessary day-to-day expenses that are critical to our local Scouting programs here in Connecticut.
• Our Scout Service Center will continue to serve our Scouting volunteers and families just as they always have
• Our camps will continue to provide awesome outdoor adventures for Scouts and families of all ages.
