Why should you invest in The Boy Scouts of America?
In general, people invest in companies because they
believe in a product or service. Investors want to know
that their investment will pay dividends and the merit
of membership of the Boy Scouts of America has been
proven for almost 100 years. Scouting has afforded
numerous young men with a positive social and
educational environment based upon the high ideals of
the Boy Scouts of America. Your investment in Scouting
will ensure that future generations will also have the
opportunities and benefits that have contributed greatly
to society.
Today, Scouting continues to provide a proven learning
environment that prepares our members for the challenges
that they face now, and those that they will overcome in
the future.
Who pays for Scouting?
Have you wondered who pays for Scouting? The Cimarron
Council's largest source of income is through gifts from
the families and communities we serve. Your gift will
benefit the youth, families, and leaders of the Cimarron
Council by providing a full time professional staff of 5
to provide assistance to unit leaders with unit
relations, administrative and operational problems. The
staff also provides guidance to all committees,
commissioners, conferences, training courses, and
activities in the development of programs that directly
benefit youth, families, and leaders. In addition to the
professional staff, the council employs a support staff
of 4 to assist with operations in the Scout Shops and
Council Service Center.
The Cimarron Council operates two fully developed, year
round camping facilities, Will Rogers Scout Reservation
near Cleveland, and Williams Scout Reservation near Cleo
Springs. Both of these properties offer large Swimming
Pools, boating, fishing, dining hall facilities,
Climbing Towers, Archery Ranges, Trading Posts, and
restroom facilities. The camps are used by Scouting
units and various other groups throughout the year. In
addition, the council also maintains the Sundance Scout
Training Center near Bison. All three camps are
maintained by the council ranger.
