Describe the Organization's Program Activity:

Part 3 - Line 4a

IN THE COUNCIL'S SEVEN COUNTY SERVICE AREA, 2,901 YOUTH WERE SERVED BY THE SCOUTING PROGRAM IN 2021. THE COUNCIL PROVIDES DIRECT SUPPORT TO ADULT VOLUNTEERS, YOUTH LEADERS AND THE SCOUTS THEMSELVES. WORKING IN TANDEM WITH PARTNERS CALLED "CHARTERED ORGANIZATIONS, " THE COUNCIL PROVIDES PROGRAMS TO CUB SCOUTS, BOY SCOUTS, VENTURING AND EXPLORING GROUPS. THE COUNCIL PROVIDES SUPPORT IN TRAINING, ADVANCEMENT, ACCIDENT AND SICKNESS INSURANCE FOR ALL MEMBERS AND LEADERS, MARKETING, HIGH ADVENTURE OPPORTUNITIES, DAY CAMPING PROGRAMS AND CAREER/VOCATION TRAINING. EXPENSES ALSO INCLUDE COMMISSIONED YOUTH SERVING EXECUTIVES, PROGRAM MATERIALS, LOCAL SCOUTING EVENTS AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT.


THE HAWKEYE AREA COUNCIL WAS EXCITED TO ONCE AGAIN, RETURN TO PROVIDING QUALITY CAMPING EXPERIENCES AT THE HOWARD H. CHERRY SCOUT RESERVATION NEAR CENTRAL CITY, IA. WHILE THERE WERE NEW CHALLENGES DUE TO THE PANDEMIC LIMITATIONS, THE ABILITY OF BOTH THE YOUTH AND ADULT VOLUNTEERS TO GET OUTSIDE AND PARTICIPATE IN SOMEWHAT "NORMAL" ACTIVITIES IN A SAFE MANNER WAS POSITIVELY RECEIVED BY ALL. IN ADDITION TO HOSTING 915 YOUTH ON CAMP PROPERTY, 137 SCOUTS JOINED US FOR DAY CAMP OPPORTUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE SERVICE AREA. THE WAKONDA KIDS PROGRAM, A PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL CHIL CARE PROVIDERS SAW 428 YOUTH AGES 5 AND UP VISIT THE PROPERTY AS A FIELD TRIP OPPORTUNITY PROVIDED TO THEIR SUMMER PROGRAM. THIS ALLOWED MANY NON- SCOUTING YOUTH TO REAP THE BENEFITS OF SUMMER CAMP AND OUTDOOR PROGRAMMING WITH ACTIVITIES NOT OFTEN ACCESSIBLE IN OUR COMMUNITY INCLUDING CLIMBING, ARCHERY, AND ECOLOGY ACTIVITIES. NEW CUB SCOUTS ENJOYED THEIR FIRST VISIT TO THE HOWARD H. CHERRY SCOUT RESERVATION AS PART OF THE CUB SCOUT FAMILY CAMP-O-REE. TOTAL, THE SATURDAY EVENT HOSTED 218 YOUTH AND A TOTAL OF 396 GUESTS.


DUE TO COVID-19 AND IT'S LIMITATIONS ON REGISTERED UNITS TO BE ABLE TO MEET IN PERSON THROUGHOUT 2021, THE COUNCIL CREATED AND RAN REACH FOR THE RANK FOR CUB SCOUTS AGES KINDERGARTEN THROUGH 5TH GRADE. CUB SCOUTS WERE ABLE TO JOIN IN MEETINGS GEARED TOWARD THEIR SPECIFIC AGE GROUP AND COMPLETE RANK- REQUIRED ADVENTURES. IN ALL, 116 YOUTH PARTICIPATED IN THE PROGRAM. INSTRUCTION WAS PROVIDED VIA ZOOM CLASSES. IN THIS WAY, WE WERE ABLE TO KEEP THE SCOUTING PROGRAMS RUNNING, EVEN WHEN UNIT LEADERS MAY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DO SO, DUE TO THE NUMEROUS SIDE EFFECTS OF COVID-19 (HAVING KIDS AT HOME, CHANGING JOBS, ETC).
