A Scout is Helpful. A Scout is Brave.
“Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” This quote, often attributed to the mother of TV personality Fred “Mr.” Rogers, often characterizes our Scouts, and Monday’s derailment of a train carrying Scouts from two Wisconsin troops is no exception.
According to media reports, Scouts from Troops 12 and 73 in Appleton rendered aid to fellow passengers, moving them to safety and providing first aid, doing so after an exhausting trek at Philmont Scout Ranch. Should your unit wish to join us in saying “Thank you” to these Scouts for their meritorious actions, please notify P147 Cubmaster Robert Stevens (stevensjrobert@gmail.com) by July 8, 2022. Notes will be collected and can be sent on behalf of yourself, your unit, District, and our entire Council.

Every year during the Wisconsin State Fair, the Order of the Arrow Lodge has lead the OA State Fair Parking. Different troops, packs, and segments of the lodge have all taken shifts to help. Money collected from the State Fair Parking goes to help fund camperships for Three Harbors Council Scouts, and it helps the lodge fund their year, which leads service projects at our properties and helps our lodge youth become stronger leaders.
If your Scout unit is looking for service hours, please click here to sign up to help. If you have individual Scouts looking for service hours, please contact Rich at rich.rognsvoog@kanwatho.org.
