Scout Show planned here on Saturday

Youth and adult members of the Boy Scouts of American from 10 surrounding counties will converge at this year’s Scout Show, planned from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at the Buffalo Mall. The Scouts will have a variety of displays and share with the community a little about their experience in Scouting and what Scouting offers. Each group will host a display with some hands-on activities or demonstrations.

This year marks the 100th anniversary that the Boy Scouts of America has served youth throughout the country. The BSA has three traditional programs for youth: Cub Scouting, for boys in grades 1-5; Boy Scouting, for boys ages 11-17; and Venturing, for young men and women ages 14-20, who have completed the eighth grade. Each program is designed to help youth make ethical decisions throughout their lives by installing in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.

Jamestown serves about 230 youth in five Cub Scout packs, four Boy Scout troops and three Venturing Crews, along with adult volunteers.
