- page 3 - SCOUTING OUTREACH

The positive impact of Scouting must be available to all youth regardless of their socioeconomic status. In 1988, the Executive Board of the Heart of America Council committed that Scouting would be available to all youth and created the Scoutreach program. Since its inception in 1988, Scoutreach has focused on serving at-risk young men and women, youths with special needs, and financially challenged youths and families.

Urban Scouting – Urban Scouting brings the excitement and adventure of Scouting to young people in the urban core of Kansas City, Missouri, and Kansas City, Kansas. Scouts participate in camp, enjoy field trips, and earn rank advancement while connecting with positive adult role models.

Through tremendous financial support of individuals, businesses, corporations, and foundations, the Urban Scouting program provides uniforms, handbooks, camperships, rank advancement patches, and program equipment to young men and women who could not otherwise enjoy the Scouting program.

The Urban Scouting program serves 11,854 young men and women in the urban core of Kansas City. Currently 6,371 young men are served through the Cub Scout, Boy Scout, and Venturing programs and 5,483 young men and women are served through the Exploring and Learning for Life programs.

Camperships – Parents want their sons to join Scouting for Scouting’s values, but boys join Scouting for one thing—fun! Through the camperships program, 837 Scouts received more than $75,130 in support to help them experience the fun and excitement of camping in the summer of 2003.

In the words of one campership recipient, “Thank you, I am having a lot of fun. I am taking wilderness survival, rifle, and fish and wildlife management. I recently received my Star Scout Rank and now am at my fifth year in camp. Camp is a great experience.”

Special Needs Scouting – Because of 61 heroes that served as staff at Rotary Camp, 47 Scouts with special needs experienced a week of fun and adventure. Scouts participated in swimming, crafts, and earned merit badges. Around the campfire, these Scouts experienced the magic of camp as they made friends and lifelong memories.

Brandon Mynatt, a 15-year-old Life Scout, has attended Rotary Camp for four years. He said, “I earned a lot of merit badges, went swimming, and the food was good! I had a fun staff person and was inducted into Mic-O-Say.”

Jeff Davis: Eagle Scout Rural Scouting Program – The Scoutreach program also delivers Scouting to all Raywain Traverso: Scoutmaster corners of the Council’s boundaries. The Rural Scouting Program served 503 Cub Troop 90 Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Venturers in 2003 and ensured that they could experience Chartered to the BPO Elks Lodge #26 the fun and adventure of Scouting! Age: 23

Like many Scouts, Jeff Davis enjoys camping, learning about the outdoors, and advancing in the Scouting program. Jeff, however, has cerebral palsy and spends much of his time in a wheelchair. In Troop 90 that serves Scouts with Special Needs, Jeff has forged strong bonds of friendship with other Scouts and especially with Scoutmaster Raywain Traverso. In 2003, Jeff earned the rank of Eagle Scout.

Jeff Davis Jeff’s mother, Patty Scott, says that Raywain challenges and inspires his Scouts to reach beyond the expected limitations of their conditions. For example, at Jeff’s Eagle Court of Honor, Jeff left his wheelchair and, with Raywain’s help, walked during the ceremony. - page 5 Bryce Lathrop Age: 15 Kyle Shirk Age: 15 for theirrescue abilities.
