Some Boy Scout Events - For Families Too




Scouting news you don't want to miss!
Golden Empire Council partners with
the Rotary Club of Sacramento

Register today!

The Golden Empire Council is partnering with the Rotary Club of Sacramento to help staff Sacramento's 1st Annual Pony Express Marathon

The Pony Express Marathon is a marathon, ½ marathon and 5k race helping many worthy charities. Due to the large volunteer need, the Boy Scouts were asked to help out!
 
Volunteer! Sign up by clicking here!  There are many easy jobs from handing out water to runners during the race, to watching traffic at intersections and cheering runners (bring a lawn chair), to helping at the finish line or even clean-up.  Please see a complete list on the website. When registering, be sure to click that you are a Scout.  Youth under 16 need a parent or leader with them - I'd encourage Scout families to volunteer together - register as a group so you are assigned a similar job! Can't make it Sunday May 1? We have some limited volunteer opportunities on Friday and Saturday preparing for the event.
 
Let's show the Sacramento that Scouts can be counted on to volunteer for community service!

 
Patch Design - the patch design is the Pony Express Logo & Medal with a hidden Boy Scout Fleur-di-lis.  The only way to get one is by volunteering at the race!
