Powahay District - Scout Night at the Bridgeport Bluefish Posted Mar. 4, 2010
The annual Scout Night at the Bluefish is kicking off and ready to be another terrific program for 2010. We’ve locked in two great dates: Saturday, June 12 and Saturday, Sept. 11 for this annual event and with the 100th Anniversary of Scouting upon us, we’d like to fill the stands with a sea of blue (uniforms that is)! We’ve even kept the price the same.

New for 2010 is the return of Tiger Tickets. A free ticket is available for every new Tiger Cub recruited into your pack this spring or early fall. Let the boys’ first activity be one filled with energy and enthusiasm and most importantly, a fun night with mom and dad at the ballpark. We’re also exploring opening up a space early to have a short Scout orientation for any new parents.

So dust off your glove, shake out your cap and get ready for a terrific event for the entire family. The flyer is attached and my tickets are on hold, so as usual, put in your reservations early and we’ll see you at the ballpark!!

Powahay District - Endowment- Longterm Support for Scouting Posted Jan. 29, 2010
Scouting has a rich history in Connecticut going back to when Scouting was first established in 1910. Since then, millions of youth have benefited from its educational, family-orientated, values-driven fun program.

The Connecticut Yankee Council has an endowment fund to help secure Scouting's future here in southwestern Connecticut. You can do your part to help make sure Scouting is around for future boys by including the Council in your will or making an outright gift to the Endowment Fund in the form of a James E. West Fellowship or other form of gift.

There are many different ways to support Scouting's future. Please follow the link below for more information.
