Next Monday night at 7 p.m. there will be a session to get people signed up to be merit badge counselors for scouts. The program will be held in the famous Marks Scouting Building at 22nd and Winter streets just off the parkway. It is a cute little beaux arts limestone building if you have never seen it.
Being a mentor to a teenager is a worthwhile gift of your time and talents. All you have to do is sign up , get trained, and wait for one of them to call you to work with you, then sign off on the completed work. You can counselor subjects that you know through avocation (hobby) or vocation (work). If you want to you can organize a class and solicit scouts to come to do your merit badge. I would be really pleased to be able to have some of my neighbors and colleagues take part. For a list of all 120 merit badges please see the following website: http://meritbadge.org/wiki/index.php/Merit_Badges If you are interested in getting involved in some other way or volunteering or to get more information about cub scouts or boy scouts in University City you can contact me directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] thanks, Lauren Leatherbarrow Troop 152 Committee Chair @ St. Francis de Sales Church in University City Triune District Commissioner Cradle of Liberty Council Tel: 215-386-3905 (VM, evenings and weekends) [EMAIL PROTECTED]
