YEARLY EVENTS

2014 Black Creek District

Campership Program

Each year for the past seventeen years Black Creek District has provided funds to needy Cub or Boy Scouts attending a long term summer camp experience.

As in past years, District will fund a needy youth at one half (1/2) of the Council camp fee when attending District Cub Scout Day Camp or Boy Scout long term camp at Camp Shands. Boy Scouts attending “Out-of Council” camps will also be eligible for one half (1/2) of the Camp Shands summer camp fees. If a needy youth has requested prior year funding, consideration will be given as to the amount of support District is able to provide. This support will be based on the overall District requirements and unit assistance in District fund raising events.

Since these District Campership Funds are held by North Florida Council, all requests MUST BE submitted via the District Campership Chairman. This year’s Campership Chairman is Mr. Burnie Powell. All information on the submission of the Campership request is on the attached Campership Form.

DO NOT SUBMIT your request to Council as it will be returned.

Questions may be directed to:
Mr. Burnie Powell - 422-1373
Mr. Dick Keyworth – 272-6733
