Boy Scouts of America | Hawkeye Area Council

 The Coralville Community Foundation has provided funding for the Kirkwood Elementary school in Coralville to provide a Cub Scout program to youth attending the after-school program.  This grant provides registration fees, uniforms, and Scouting materials to youth who participate in the program.  Through innovative partnerships such as this, the Scouting movement is expanded throughout the seven-county service area of Hawkeye Area Council.

View the grant announcement on page 15 of the Coralville Connection.

The Scouting program has many unique partnerships throughout the Council's seven county service area.  One of those partnerships is with Tanager Place in Cedar Rapids.  As an on-site residential treatment facility it is difficult for youth to participate in a traditional Scouting program.  Through an innovative partnership, Tanager Place is pleased to provide a program for Cub Scout and Boy Scout age youth each week.  The success of the program is detailed in this article recently published by Tanager Place in one of their reports.  View page 7 for the article.
