1 2020 ANNUAL REPORT BAY-LAKES COUNCIL, BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA MESSAGE FROM OUR KEY 3 LEADERS
The year of COVID-19. 2020 has been a year that has seen so much adversity, yet through this adversity our Scouting community has come together and continued our tradition of developing the character of young people.
We are grateful to the Scouting volunteers that continued to find ways to capture the imagination of Scouts even while following social distancing guidelines. It hasn’t been easy, yet our volunteers found a way to keep our Scouts active in the outdoors, advancing and continuing our primary mission of teaching young people to make ethical choices throughout their lives. Rod Goldhahn Council President We are grateful to the volunteers that have worked to improve our camping properties. This year we have seen the completion of the Oertle Family Foundation Welcome Center and the new Bay-Lakes Council Scout Museum at Camp Rokilio, the near completion of the multi-purpose dining hall at Gardner Dam Scout Camp, the boathouse at Camp Hiawatha, and an amazing transformation of Bear Paw Scout Camp through the construction of buildings lost in the storm not too long ago. Significant progress was made as we all faced the pandemic in 2020.
Our Board of Directors has enthusiastically renewed our commitment to our responsibilities as the governing body of this Council. Together we worked to Roy LaPean build our committees and start the process to develop our new strategic plan. Council Commissioner We welcomed a new Scout Executive. We made significant efforts to guarantee our Council’s financial future through the pandemic and through some tough legal issues. We believe our Council is strong fiscally and will be so in the years to come.
In 2020, we ran safe camps and learned to use technology to continue to build our Scouting communities.
Our prayer is that 2021 becomes a year when we begin the healing process of finding our way to normalcy. Scouting will continue and will thrive in the Bay-Lakes Council. THANK YOU SCOUTS. THANK YOU SCOUTING VOLUNTEERS. Ralph Voelker Scout Executive THANK YOU DONORS. Together we choose to make the dream of a world where everyone lives their life by the Scout Oath and Law come true.

We all learned to adapt, be resourceful, and utilize the skills acquired from principles of the Scouting program to carry on through the pandemic.
From virtual merit badge classes to unit meetings, family hikes, camp-ins, and Scouting for Food drop-off sites, Scouts implemented the principles of citizenship to provide service in their communities.
Together, we learned to pivot the Golden Eagle Event and annual Popcorn Sale fundraiser from in-person to virtual. Through your perseverance, we were able to continue Scouting’s mission.
