The Boy Scouts of America Crossroads of America Council held its 9th annual Town of Fishers Breakfast for Scouting on March 26 at the Hawthorns Golf and Country Club. Breakfast Chair, Pete Peterson said the goal of the breakfast is to raise money for underprivileged kids. “Scouting provides an area for kids to really get involved in the community and teach them the goals, values and character that we want to see in them. And to keep boys out of trouble, too. The problem we run into is that some youth can’t afford to do that. These breakfasts help that. They drive kids that couldn’t ordinarily come into scouting because of their backgrounds or whatever the case may be, and allows them a scouting presence,” he said.

Scouting is alive and well in Fishers with 13 Cub Scout Packs, seven Boy Scout Troops and one Venturing Crew. There are 930 youth members and 230 adult volunteers involved. The breakfast raised approximately $24,000, $3000 more than last year.

Peterson said people in Fishers turned out for the breakfast and scouting. “A wide variety of folks came to support this. Scouting is an easy thing to support, especially in this community because it does such great things for young people,” he said.
