STEWARDS OF FIRELANDS

Monday, May 13th, 2024 at 6pm starting on the Wyandot side 
Firelands Scout Reservation 

Dear friends of Firelands, 

I am writing to invite you to our thirty-thrid annual Stewards of Firelands meeting scheduled for Monday evening the 13th of May. We scheduled it back to our traditional time of year, the Monday after Mother’s Day. Come have a tour of the camp, enjoy a steak dinner, fellowship with other Stewards, and help support Firelands for the next generation of campers. 

This summer we are looking forward to hosting two NYLT courses and a Wood Badge Course. Welcoming back Cub Scouts for more S’more Cub Adventures and well as a Webelos S'more and Scout S'more Adventure where they will learn advancements and have fun for 4 days and 3 nights. Firelands continues to support Scouts BSA programs year-round with merit badge weekends, Klondike derbies, and camporees  

For over three decades, the Stewards have had a positive impact on Firelands Scout Reservation. In fact, this past year, generous members provided the opportunity to complete almost 50,000 dollars  worth of projects. With the support of our Stewards, we continued to make improvements for our Scouts! 

The mission of Scouting pushes forward, and Scouting has not stopped at Firelands. We continue to offer Scouts a reprieve from being homebound with weekend camping, exciting Scouting overnighters, day events, and building upon Scouting's long tradition of developing youth leadership. Your support is needed now more than ever to keep these great programs.  

Please help us with your pledge of membership. Become a Steward by pledging your $100 tax-deductible donation towards our pot from which we will spend on important improvements for our Scouts at 

https://www.scoutingevent.com/440-stewardsoffirelands 

 Additional money can be added to the pot through this registration, and as always additional contributions are welcomed on the floor. Remember that our long-standing rules state that support of the Stewards program is in addition to your annual Friends of Scouting contribution. To facilitate your gift, please see this Keeper of the Flame information. 

A big part of our extraordinary success last year was due to the generosity of many of our first-time Stewards. I encourage you to invite a new friend this year- someone you think would want to help us make a difference. Let us shoot for over 200 stewards this year.   

Thank you for your support with the Firelands Scout Reservation and the youth of our council. Your continued help is appreciated. I look forward to greeting each of you and your guests Monday evening May 13th, 2023. 

Sincerely yours, 

Fred F. Downey 
Firelands Stewards Enrollment Chairman
