Young boys can register at local schools to be scouts

Those youths who want to get involved in community service while learning a range of tools and talents have their opportunity this week when the Orange County Council for Boy Scouts of American begins its spring recruitment campaign at local middle schools Saturday through April 23.

Young boys are invited to become a cub scout or boy scout by registering at local schools. Registration costs $20 and includes insurance cost, handbook and subscription to “Boy’s Life Magazine.”

Those who register at this week’s recruitment will also receive a free scouting water bottle and T-shirt.

Recruitment times are 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday, and 6 to 8 p.m. April 22 and April 23.

The Orange County Council’s goal is to recruit 2,500 to 3,000 members for this year’s program.
