Re: [at-l] How to volunteer with Scouts

["Christopher Casciano"<christopher.casciano@prudential.com>]

Another good place to get info on local troops is from local outfitters &
other locations that carry Boy Scout equipment (uniforms, books, etc.) They
usually have a good grasp of who to contact locally -- like scoutmasters --
incase you don't get the info you're looking for from the council.  And if
you're really having a tough time tring to find a local scout troop check
with your area schools and churches to see if they sponsor a scout troop.

I really hope its not this difficult for someone who wants to give of
themselves to find someplace to do so!
