**YOUR SCOUTING ADVENTURE AWAITS**
Discovery is at the heart of Scouting. Whether it’s a
campout, derby car race, or hike on the trail, we believe
every adventure helps us uncover a little more about
ourselves. We build the foundations for humility and
compassion—strengthening character through actions—to
prepare youth for a lifetime of leadership.
Scouting is for Boys and Girls in Grades K-12. Watch your
child’s take-home folder for an invitation to a scout joining
event this fall or go to BEASCOUT.ORG to find a scout unit
near you. Contact Steve Higgins 260 710-5637 or
steven.higgins@scouting.org for more information.

Have a Safe and Happy Independence Day!
Enjoy the reading of the Declaration of Independence as read by President John F. Kennedy:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHAksb4gSIM
Although the Second Continental Congress made its decree for freedom on July 2, 1776, no one signed the Declaration of Independence. Congress did sign the Lee Resolution, named for Virginian Richard Henry Lee, on July 2. This resolution contained three parts: separation from the British Crown, a call to form foreign alliances, and a plan for confederation. Congress formally adopted the Declaration of Independence two days later, July 4, 1776, and the alarm for freedom was sounded at Independence Hall with the Liberty Bell.
Americans rejoiced as word spread throughout the newly declared independent states. Although independence had been declared, delegates of the Continental Congress had not yet inked their signatures onto the document. On August 2, 1776, when most delegates signed the Declaration of Independence, it became official.
