Resources Prepare the Way Brochure Question & Answer Fact Sheet

“Prepare the Way” is a campaign to raise $4,000,000 to serve the future Scouting needs of central and southern Maine. Funds raised during the campaign will be used to build a new Chuck Cianchette Scout Service Center, to make improvements at Camp Hinds and Camp Bomazeen, to build a new Cub World program and to bollster our endowment.

Last year Scouting served 18,000 young people in central and southern Maine. Thousands of additional youths will be served as a consequence of this campaign. The funds raised will allow us to significantly improve the quality of the Scouting program and increase the number of Scouts staying with the Scouting program through their late teenage years. In addition, our volunteers will be much more adequately served by the council.

For more than two years, members of the council’s board of directors have been evaluating the needs and services of the council, preparing for major improvements, consulting with independent professionals and deliberating all aspects of Scouting. The campaign goals have been well thought out and are worthy of your confidence.
