Camp V Bar Improvements Continue
The Properties Committee continues to work on making Camp V-Bar the best Scout camp on the Gulf Coast! If you visited camp recently, you may have noticed a new sign welcoming visitors to camp at the beginning of the entrance road. The Council used funds from the on-going sales of camp maps to which many Council members contributed to pay for this sign.
Urgent Scouting Alert!
Attention Unit Leaders, Parents, and Volunteers! "As our Fall New Scout Recruitment Campaign continues, it is critical that all new youth and adult applications are turned in immediately to be entered into the Scouting America Registration System."
New Annual Program Fee Update!
We heard you and have made some changes to the council program fee. You may now pay the fee all at one time, or in installments until December. Next year, the program fee can also be paid in installments.
Purchase Gift Cards Here for the Holidays! Support the SELA Council!
How many gift cards will you purchase for friends, family, neighbors, teachers, and anyone else in 2025? Gift cards are not just for holiday gifts, but they can be purchased for Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries, and for your personal use, i.e., gas, groceries, etc.
