Camp Card 2012
The 2012 Camp Card initiative is designed to help Scouts earn their way to a Camp experience. Scouts participating in this program will earn 50 percent commission, $2.50 for each $5.00 Camp Card they sell. Cards will be distributed at Roundtable and the Scout office as early as March 1st. The sale will end on May 25th. The Sale is RISK FREE, simply return unsold Cards. Follow our link for more information and to sign up. There's only a limited number of cards being ordered - once they're sold out we are not ordering more. Don't miss out!

Eagle Scout Advancement
Are you ready to start your Eagle Scout Service Project? If so, you need to call Larry Hyde, District Advancement Chairman, at (530) 676-5957 before you do anything else. Folsom Scouts can begin calling Larry for help in getting approval for your Eagle Scout Service Project. Great job to the Scouts who have made it this far but DO NOT give up; finish your project and get your Eagle Scout rank. You will regret it forever if you don't.
