WLACC December 2010 camping newsletter

Dear friends of Whitsett, Emerald Bay, and Camp Josepho,

As 2010 draws to a close, I want to thank all of you for helping to make this an amazing year for Scouting. In addition to being the 100th anniversary of our organization, 2010 saw many milestones for our camps. Over 21,000 people attended one of our three camps this year; Scouts at Emerald Bay and Whitsett earned over 15,000 merit badges, and thanks to the generous support of our donors, we were able to provide over $30,000 in scholarships for those who would otherwise be unable to experience summer camp.

As we head into 2011, we hear daily from Scouts and Scouters excited about all that lays ahead. While you enjoy the holidays with your friends and family this year, please take a moment to reflect on the difference that Scouting has made in your life, and to consider giving the gift of camping to someone in 2011. Thank you again for all your support.

Yours in Scouting,

James Rushton
