The Northeastern Pennsylvania Council, Boy Scouts of America

The Northeastern Pennsylvania Council, Boy Scouts of America, held its annual “Invest in Youth” golf outing at Blue Ridge Trail Golf Club on Aug. 24. The golf outing helped raise funds for Scouting programs for the more than 4,000 area youth in four counties. Pictured are the winners of this year’s outing, Allied Services Team No. 2. Michael LaPolla, representing the region’s Boy Scouts Council, was quoted as saying “it is a sign of a great community when in the worst of economic times, people and corporations come out and support local nonprofit organizations.” To get involved with the golf outing or Scouting, contact LaPolla at the council service center in Moosic.
