Eagle Scouts on the way to Japan Aug '03

[k9gold-scout]

An exchange program with the Japanese Scouting Ass'n. has an annual summer program, our crew has 2 eagles who have signed up to go. I don't know if this is a nationwide program or if it is limited to our council. Anyone have info?

I don't specifically, but I can tell you that there were two BSN Scouters in my Wood Badge class in Okinawa last year, and if these guys are any indication, your two Eagles are going to have a wonderful time.

 

Suggest you go to the Far East Council web page, and then link to Japan District (unless they're going to Okinawa, then link to the Okinawa District), and contact the DE...

The JSA does things a little bit differently than we are used to in the USA but they are wonderful people! We get together for events like Camporees, District events, and ourJamborette, too.
