JEWISH SCOUTS AND SCOUTERS TO BE RECOGNIZED WITHRELIGIOUS SCOUTING EMBLEMS AND AWARDSDURING THE 103rd ANNIVERSARY OF THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA
February is recognized nationwide as Scouting Month in the United States, founded in 1910. The 12th point of the Scout Law is "A Scout is Reverent." A special way a Tiger, Cub or Webelos Scout, Boy Scout, Explorer Post, Venture Crew or Sea Scout Ship member, Brownie or Girl Scout can show this is with the earning of his/her individual faith's religious emblem. At 10a.m.on Sunday morning, March 3, 2013, the Jewish Committee on Scouting of Suffolk County Council will recognize and honor past and present youth and adult recipients of the Jewish Scouting Religious Emblems and Awards at Temple Beth Chai of Hauppauge (870 Town Line Road, Hauppauge) at the annual JCOS Breakfast during the 103rd anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America.
During special ceremonies, presentations of medals and certificates will be made to all Jewish Scouts who have earned their religious recognition since last year’s annual awards breakfast. Adult volunteer Scouters will be honored with the Shofar Award, a National Jewish Committee on Scouting recognition which can be presented on the local council level for significant service to Jewish Scouting and the Jewish Community. The JCOS Life Award, a special recognition of outstanding contribution or ability to overcome major concerns of life will also be presented.
Reservations are appreciated and cost for the bagels and coffee breakfast is $8 until February 25 and $10 at the door. For more information, please contact JCOS Breakfast Chair Bruce Streger at 631-981-0453.
