Mission and Objectives
By supporting the Boy Scouts, you are supporting America’s future.
For over a century, the Boy Scout of America has helped build the future leaders of this country by combining educational activities and lifelong values with fun. The Boy Scouts of America believes and, through over a century of experience, knows that helping youth is a key to building a more conscientious, responsible, and productive society.
Boy Scout Troop 709 represents Vista, San Marcos, Oceanside and Escondido. The Troop currently has over 60 scouts and is one of the largest troops in San Diego County.Having a big sale, on-site celebrity, or other event? Be sure to announce it so everybody knows and gets excited about it.
The net proceeds from the golf tournament and silent auction will be used for the following:
- To help Troop 709 and the Scouts offset some of the costs and fees incurred for our summer camps through our Summer Camp Assistance Fund.
- In 2020, the Scouts have planned their summer adventure to Glacier National Park in Montana and to Yellowstone National Park.
- The Scouts have even started to talk about planning their 2022 summer camp in Maui, Hawaii.
- To help establish a College Scholarship Fund for Eagle Scouts that have shown exceptional character and leadership skills.
The cost of each of these programs run from approximately $500 to $1,500 per scout, and this fundraiser is used to help offset a portion of the cost. In addition, some funds will be used toward the purchase of much needed camping equipment for these adventures as the current equipment has become quite worn from many years of frequent use.
