THANKS for 03

Buy a Commemorative Patch

Future Leaders Day '04 WAS GREAT!!!!!

The Fort Knox Scouting Community would like to thank all of the businesses, organizations, scouts, and people who helped to make this day as Fun as it was!!!! The 3rd Annual Future Leader's Day (FLD04) was held at Fort Knox on 7 AUG 04. As was tradition, this was a FREE EVENT.

The nature of the event is similar to that of a fair, during which there are activities, exhibits, and booths for our Future Leaders. These events are open to ALL youth (not just scouts) and their families. We plan this year to reach a much broader visitor base than just the surrounding areas. As the event is scheduled for the first weekend after school starts, your scouts should be back, and it is also an excellent opportunity for new residents of Kentucky, to find out what the Community has to offer. As an attraction to scouting units, we also hope to draw boys, girls and their families from other locations in Kentucky, as well as surrounding states.

Several Packs and Troops came out and camped with us this year, and we hope to have more next year, whether a Girl Scout, Venturer, Cub Scout, or Boy Scout. If you missed getting an Event Patch Click here to see or purchase one of the previous years patches.

The SLT SIMEX went GREAT as well. The first time for this event, we had over 200 youth go through the leadership training, thanks to the great folks at Ignited Minds.

Pictures will be posted here soon.

If you our your organization / business would like to participate, or you know of one that would, we would be honored to include them in our Leaders Day. This is an opportune time to use this venue to raise awareness, and explain to the community what services are provided by their organization. We know that your organization understands that the Cub, Boy, and Girl Scouts of America instill values and ideals, which are congruent to the values and ideals which are needed by, and essential to becoming productive, effective future leaders in our communities. We sincerely hope that you will assist us in this endeavor to further develop our "Future Leaders" by attending, and hopefully providing an interesting event/display/exhibition for the Scouts, as well as providing a weekend of fun for all of the youth and in attendance.
