February 5 through February 11, 2012 marks the birthday of the Boy Scouts of America! What an exciting time for the Mid-America Council.

The Boy Scouts of America, Mid-America Council had more than 6,379 Scouts fundraising for their own programs and supporting operating the whole council. Scouts sold nearly $3.5 million worth of popcorn!

A new website, http://aplacetogive.scouting.org/, provides the ability to support the Scouting programs here in the local community, to provide funding to send a youth to camp, and to support the development of the Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve.
