Boy Scouts of America announces “School Night for Scouting”

Northern Star Council of the Boy Scouts of America announces “School Night for Scouting,” Thursday, Sept. 22, 6-7 p.m.  Boys in grades K-5 are invited.  The theme is “Heroes Start Here,” and every boy who signs up for Cub Scouts that day will receive a cape, as well as a “Captain AmeriCub Shield” (a specially decorated Frisbee) that can be used at fall “superhero training camps.” These are special introductory four-hour day programs at council camps and community sites each weekend in October. New member sign-ups will take place at all elementary schools throughout Minnesota and western Wisconsin. This is the largest Cub Scout recruitment event of the year, expecting to enroll over 4,000 new members.  Parents can register their sons for Cub Scouts at any elementary school on Sept. 22 or online at www.HeroScouts.org or NorthernStarBSA.org for joining information on all programs.
