Scoutreach Program
Glaciers Edge Council
The goal of the Glaciers Edge Councils Scoutreach program is to deliver Scouting to low-income at-risk youth in
the cities throughout our territory. While Scouting has always worked to bring Scouting to all youth, recently the
executive board create a Vice President for Scoutreach. This position is filled by Stephen Machotka, Market President, Wisconsin Bank & Trust. Steve has been with expanding community partnerships, developing a steering
committee of committed volunteer leadership and to secure long term funding to ensure the continuity of the program.
Scoutreach is the Boy Scouts of America's commitment to making sure that all young people have an opportunity
to be a Scout regardless of their circumstances. Today, young people are faced with many challenges. Too often,
they live in fragile families and disintegrating neighborhoods. Scoutreach meets the developmental needs of youth
in urban settings as diverse as the barrios of south central Los Angeles and the housing developments of Washington, D.C.
The program also focuses on the rural population of the United States, which comprises approximately 25 percent
of the total U.S. population. Some rural communities are stable and growing, but others are characterized by decentralized, low-density populations, by poverty, or by both.
Scouting, by emphasizing ethics and moral values, addresses many of the social concerns of parents and youth in
our country. Scouting prepares urban and rural youth to be leaders, to accept responsibility, and to care about
principles and causes beyond their own self-interest.

Scoutreach Values
Respect of the Community: Treating all people with respect and dignity through honesty and openness to the
needs of the community.
Commitment: Dedicating ourselves to the mission of the BSA and the Scout Oath and Law.
Excellence: Putting forth our very best effort in support of Scouting in our service to the youth, families, and communities of America.

Scoutreach Vision Statement

Scoutreach reflects the diversity of the urban and rural neighborhoods and communities that it serves and uses
that strength to enhance customer satisfaction and enrich the Scouting experience.

Scoutreach Mission
The Scoutreach mission is to recruit strong adult leaders and to develop solid relationships with chartered organizations in urban and rural communities nationwide to ensure that culturally diverse youth have the opportunity to
join the Scouting program.

Boy Scouts of America
And Their Distinguished Citizen

Frank D. Byrne, M.D.

Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs,
even though checkered by failurethan to rank with those poor
spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live
in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.

We are so proud of you!
Love,

What is Scouting?
Scouting is a partnership with parents that offers
adventures young people enjoy, teaches boys
lifetime values and skills, and introduces them to
leadership.
Personal Development
Encourages growth in moral strength, character, and good citizenship in these years of discovery, when boys are becoming young men.
Develops physical, mental, and emotional

fitness.
Gives a boy a time and place to realize his abili-

ties, learn how to serve others, and gain selfesteem.

Fosters friendships.
Strengthens communities.

Community Service
Scouts make a difference in the world. In a
food collection drive or disaster relief assistance,
they learn how to respond to community needs.
Advancement
Scouts advance from Tenderfoot to Eagle
Scout in a learn-by-doing program that includes
camping skills, first aid, community service, and
much more.
Democracy in Action
Scouts elect patrol leaders, and everyone has a
voice in planning the patrol and troop activities.
They share responsibilities and solve problems,
with adults providing guidance. The troop is a
perfect place to practice interpersonal skills and
learn to listen to different points of view.
