For Immediate Release
Scouting Continues
East Hartford, CT, The Connecticut Rivers Council: Boy Scouts of America is excited to have many volunteers, Scouts, and families participate in Scouting programs during the pandemic.
Since April, our Scouts and Scouters have moved our traditional program to homes, backyards, and online platforms. Scouting continues and we are proud to offer a flexible program that continues our mission to young people and their families. Our Scouts have had the opportunity to be a part of some dynamic virtual programs and community service efforts. As we get deeper into the public health crisis, we are prepared to offer more virtual program and we cannot wait to see what our Scouts do next.
