Abraham is from Mexico and he just turned eleven this year.   He wants to work for Microsoft when he grows up or be an archeologist.

He is from a low income family and joined Scouting because his mom didn’t want him to play video games anymore.

By providing a Scout handbook, you have helped Abraham participate in the wholesome activities that Scouting provides. Thank you so much on behalf of Abraham (and his mom).

Ramon is a 9 year old Bear Scout and he is from Mexico. Nevertheless, he still wants to be the president of the United States of America.

There are six people in his family, and he is one of the middle children. As you can probably tell, it is difficult for his family to participate in after school activities.  That is why your gift of a Bear Handbook is so important. Thank you for your gift and look for Ramon’s name on a ballot some day, if not President, maybe Governor.

Juan is eleven years old and lives in Seattle’s inner-city.  He is the son of a bi-racial family. With Neil, Niranjan, Susan, James and Malik’s support we were able to help Juan participate in the Soccer and Scouting program.

But we still needed funding for Juan’s Scout Handbook.

That is where you stepped in. Now, Juan can participate in the program more fully!

He is looking forward to going camping this summer and bringing his Scout Handbook so that his counselors can sign off on all the requirements he completes at camp.

John, thank you for helping Juan be a Scout and for giving him not just his handbook, but a handbook for life!

Just a couple months ago, Sebastian was an avid soccer player who had never heard of Scouting.  Because of his family situation he couldn’t afford to play soccer.  Then he heard about Soccer and Scouting.

Thanks to your donation Kandace, Sebastian now has a Wolf handbook to guide him to his next badge.

Cesar recently joined the Soccer and Scouting program and participates with his two brothers. His mom and dad are now active participants as adult leaders, but having three boys in the program can get expensive for this young family. Your support helped make it possible for Cesar to have a handbook. Thanks to you, he and his family are able to participate and grow closer together through the Soccer and Scouting program.

Edward loves Soccer. Initially, he and his family didn’t know anything about Scouting, but his family decided to join the Soccer and Scouting program because of the opportunity to play more soccer!

Now, Edward is also learning all the other values that Scouting has to offer, and has the opportunity to meet new people in his community. Plus, he gets to score some goals, too.

Edward comes from a low income family, but thanks to Edward, Tom, Skye, Mary, Craig, Eileen, George, Richard, Susan, Peter, Bill and Nadia, he will be able to join remain in this program for a full year, and thanks to Maria he has been given a new Scout Handbook!

The Scouting program provides ways for Scouts to pay their own way in addition to receiving financial assistance to participate. This largely occurs through the Scout popcorn sale. Duke is a budding entrepreneur and was the top seller in the Soccer and Scouting program.

He comes from a bi-racial family. Digvijay, your generous support helped provide Duke his handbook and sparked his entrepreneurial spirit.

Isaac is in the 2nd grade and is a super Scout! He is learning how to lead others through the Soccer and Scouting program.

Isaac is pretty unique because his mom is from Iraq and his dad is from Ukraine. Through Scouting he is learning to work with others. His fellow Scouts are learning a lot from Isaac and his cultural background.

Digvijay, your generous support provided a Scout Handbook… a guidebook for life.

Jose is in the 3rd grade and is a “Bear” Scout. He has two brothers that also participate in Soccer and Scouting, Pablo and Martin. For Jose, Soccer and Scouting is very much a family activity.

His older brother, Martin, is a Boy Scout and is a positive role model for not only his brothers but other younger Scouts.

Jose loves soccer and it is through his love of the game that he was attracted to Scouting. Because Jose’s entire family participates in Soccer and Scouting, it can get a little expensive. Digvijay, your generous donation gave Jose a Scout handbook and an opportunity to learn the positive values that Scouting has to offer for an entire year!

Alexis is in the 2nd grade, and he was attracted to the Soccer and Scouting program even though he is not a great soccer player.  Your support of Soccer and Scouting broke the economic and cultural barrier that he would have otherwise encountered in being a Scout.

Scouting is now his most favorite after school activity and he is always looking for ways to earn the next badge (which includes looking ahead to activities in the other Scouting levels)

Digvijay, thank you for giving Alexis his handbook and making it possible for Alexis to participate!
