Rib Mountain Program

Friends of Scouting

Thank you to all the families and businesses in the Rib Mountain District that have contributed to the Annual Friends of Scouting campaign! Your financial support is critical to providing a positive Scouting experience to every youth in the Council. With the influences of today's society, Scouting's positive impact of installing character and values is even more important to our boys. I thank you again for your help.

On Sunday, April 1, 2012, the Rib Mountain District held its Annual District Awards Banquet at the Rose Garden in Wausau Wisconsin. The Annual Banquet is the District's chance to recognize those Scouters that have shown outstanding service to the Scouting Program, within the Units, our District or our Council. It is the District's way of saying, "Thanks for the extra effort you have given Scouting!"
