 Activities & Civic Service

Activities = Achievements = Advancement

It's true! Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts alike benefit from our Program through participation in Cub Scout and Boy Scout activities and events. Participation leads to achievements and growth as a boy and a young man. These achievements promote advancement in the Scouting Program. This is the scope and focus of the Activities and Civic Service function of the Northeast District, Crossroads of America Council, and the Boy Scouts of America.

2010 NED Spring Camporee ready for take-off
The annual Northeast District Spring Camporee is in its pre-flight check and is scheduled for take-off over the weekend of April 9-11 at Mount Comfort Airport.  Check out the NED Spring Camporee page.  Camporee information and unit registration are available now.  Scouts interested in flying must register with EAA Young Eagles.

Civic Service = Cooperative Involvement = Community Leadership

Team work makes the dream work!  Boys and young men who are taught to work together toward a common goal learn to cooperate and become a productive member of a team.  Scouts are mentored to work together as a team in order to give back to their communities.  Clean-up projects in local parks; tree-planting projects within their municipalities; assistance during disaster recovery efforts - Scouts are there with positive energy and a desire to serve their communities!

2010 SCOUTING FOR FOOD
The annual food drive spearheaded by Boy Scouts of America and Girl Scouts of USA and sponsored by Kroger is about to kick off!  See the attached SFF FLYER for information on how you and your unit can help the hungry in the greater Indianapolis area.

Please check out the Northeast District Calendar for events and activities that are designed to support our units and bolster our program.  Check out some opportunities below to involve yourself, your pack and/or your troop in a civic service project to support your community.

Help us help you with service project ideas -  If you have any ideas or suggestions or know of any organizations in need of a service project - please contact Greg Hembree
