Indian Lore Merit Badge Opportunity

The following was forwarded from the Staten Island Museum.

Hi, please pass on the word that the SI Museum (75 Stuyvesant place) loves when scouts come to visit for a Pack or Troop activity. Our Lenape lesson is excellent and any scout working on Indian Lore MB can meet a lot if not all of the requirements during that visit. I am a MB counselor for that one and I can arrange to be there for anyone who need me there. Thanks. Plus there are many other activities the scouts would enjoy.

National Jewish Committee on Scouting Scholarships

Each year, the National Jewish Committee on Scouting offers five scholarships worth a total of $7,000 to Jewish Eagle Scouts who also earn the Ner Tamid or Etz Chaim religious emblems. Some scholarships are based on financial need and others are not.

As in the last several years, we are using a modification of the NESA Scholarship Application for our scholarships. Information about our scholarships may be found at the NJCoS web site:  http://www.jewishscouting.org/
