ChaiRMaN’s Message
In a recent address to the Orange County Business Leaders and the Orange County Council of the Boys Scouts of America our recently confirmed Secretary of State Rex Tillerson made the following observations: “We live in a time where values are not being taught. We need to instill values in our young leaders of tomorrow. We live in a time where life skills are not being taught as they once were. We need to teach our youth skills that will help them solve the problems of tomorrow. The Boys Scouts of America teaches values and it teaches the skills these young men will need tomorrow. The Boy Scouts of America also teaches Servant Leadership, the most powerful and effective type of leadership. We teach that principal by serving those we lead.”
I love the Boy Scouts of America for giving our sons a chance to learn the values and skills that will prepare them for tomorrow. A a father of 5 children I would like to feel when my time on earth comes to an end that my children have learned the skills and values that will bring them happiness and peace in their lives. Thank you all for helping our sons and daughters with your time, patience and love!Mark Bowles

poRtola distRiCt leadeRs seRviNg you:
Campership Funds are available from the Orange County Council for any Orange County Council Scout to attend a Orange County Council camp or day camp program. Funds come from donations from donors who wish to help Scouts attend camp.
Return forms to Orange County Council: 1211 E Dyer Road, Santa Ana CA 92705. Email: Kathy [email protected] Fax: 714.546.0415
Only one (1) Campership Fund request will be granted per applicant, per year to allow us to serve as many peo-ple as possible. Orange County Council authorizes funds based on income and extenuating circumstances. Generally, the Council Campership Grant is 50 percent of the camp fee. In extreme circumstances, the maximum the Council can grant up to 70%.
The campership committee feels that it is important for a Scout to contribute some portion of his fees through personal resources or unit fund raising projects, thus meeting the spirit of the 9th point of the Scout Law - A Scout is Thrifty" - a Scout pays his own way.
Each person requesting financial aid must fill out a separate form.
A reservation for a camp or program must be made before this request for financial aid will be processed. You may need to check with your unit to be sure a reservation has been made.
Incomplete applications will be returned without processing.
Programs such as the Philmont contingent and Jamboree have separate scholarship programs and applications, and are not eligible.
Funds are not available for: out-of-council camps, Scouts or adults from other councils, or adult leader camp fees.
Once awarded, Campership Funds are not transferable to another person. If a recipient does not attend the activity for which the funds were requested, the funds are forfeited and the fee due for the event at time of cancelation will still be due.
Each recipient will be asked to complete a postcard thanking campership fund donors at the camp or activity.
Turn in the application early to ensure consideration. Applications may be submitted after January 1, 2017. Limited Campership Funds are available each year and are granted on a first-come, first-served basis.
All completed and signed requests for Campership Funds must be submitted on this form. The latest date for submittal is May 26, 2017. Requests turned in after May 26, 2017 will only be considered if additional monies are available, but must be in the Orange County Council office no later than three weeks prior to the start of the camp or activity. Forms may be faxed to the Orange County Council at the above number or emailed to the address above.

UNIT ENDORSEMENT
This area is extremely valuable to the Council Campership Committee. Failure of the Unit to provide this endorsement may result in the application being denied or delayed until further information can be obtained. Information should be provided in this area as to the Scout’s attendance at meetings, overnight camping, advancement efforts, citizenship, family support to the unit, Scout spirit, and participation in Council fundraising activities like popcorn sales. In many cases, the unit will be aware of the financial need of the Scout. Confirmation of this fact or further explanation is helpful. Do not merely repeat information already provided. Please include the number of registered youth and number of youth attending camp. This is helpful to the committee in evaluating multiple applications from the same unit.
