In 2013, the Simon Kenton Council continued its
partnerships with the Columbus Blue Jackets, Ohio
Health Chiller Ice Rinks, and the Columbus Clippers.
Through these partnerships and additional support
from the Columbus Blue Jackets Foundation, the
council was able to have a great recruiting season.
Youth from all across the council territory were
encouraged to join Scouting and got a taste of the
exciting activities the council has to offer.

“Patty’s Program”
Combats Poverty
Through Scouting
Thanks to vision and investment of the United Way of Ross County, Chillicothe
City Schools and the Amelia P. Benner Foundation, children in some of Ross
County’s highest-need schools have Scouting opportunities.
The ScoutReach program delivers Scouting experiences cost-free to youth
in low-income schools and communities like Ross County, which recorded
a 28% youth poverty rate in 2012. Poverty is pronounced within schools of
the county seat, with 64.4% of Chillicothe City School students receiving
free or reduced-price lunches.
Better known as “Patty’s program” to those who work with ScoutReach Program Aide Patty Jones (above), the same
successful program is known as Urban ScoutReach to the 1,120 participating youth in Columbus City Schools.
In 2013, Ross County ScoutReach offered 64 young people
in three elementary schools healthy after-school snacks,
effective programs, and financial assistance for summer
camp and special events. “Patty’s program” and Ross
County Scouts are grateful to our partners for investing in
the developmental, emotional, and long-term support that
only Scouting can provide.

Ingram-White Castle Foundation Park National Bank and Other
Promotes STEM for At-risk Youth
Local Partners Help Eagles Soar
With a major investment of $10,000 from the Ingram-White Castle Foundation,
the Simon Kenton Council multiplied opportunities related to science, technology,
engineering and math for our Scouts.
Longtime partner Park National Bank generously invested $11,000 toward
Scouting in the Simon Kenton Council in 2013, providing critical support to
council operations. This represents an investment in both the people and
programs that directly influence the Scout experience. That’s why operating
support is incredibly important for nonprofits like the Simon Kenton Council.
Thanks to the partnership, more than 650 Scouts last year participated in more
than 30 STEM-related merit badges or earned the NOVA award, which requires
an age-appropriate understanding of engineering and technology
fields. This is a 75% participation increase from the number of
Scouts who achieved these STEM-related benchmarks in 2012.
Education in STEM has never been more important in our state, and Scouting
programs are proven to reinforce classroom lessons in these subjects. Only 40%
of eighth graders in Columbus City Schools were proficient in science in 2013,
and less than half of seventh graders were proficient in math, according to the
Ohio Department of Education. (The state requirement is 75% in all subjects.)
With generous partners like the Ingram-White Castle Foundation, the Simon
Kenton Council will continue to battle this crucial education issue by further
emphasizing STEM in our ScoutReach programs within Columbus schools and
expanding STEM-related activities councilwide.
The support of Park National Bank is also reflected
in the annual Eagle Scout Recognition Dinner,
the flagship special event of the Simon Kenton
Council, as well as the Whitney M. Young Jr.,
Service Awards, which are designed to recognize
efforts of volunteers and organizations that make
a difference in the lives of urban and rural youth
and are given during the Leadership Luncheon.
Thanks to the support of our critical partners like
Park National Bank, the Simon Kenton Council
can appropriately honor outstanding citizens in
our community, welcome a new class of Eagle
Scouts, and effectively deliver character building
programs to our 20,000 Scouts.

Launched By Community Partners
•
Thanks to the Scioto Foundation, Fifth Third Bank, the Richard D. Marting Foundation, Portsmouth
High School, and volunteer merit badge counselors, Scouts in Scioto County had the opportunity
to earn merit badges cost free during the inaugural STEM University.
During separate sessions in March and November 2013, 109 Scouts participated in intensive
sessions to earn merit badges in Robotics, Personal Management, Engineering, Architecture,
Game Design and Drafting in Portsmouth, Ohio. Thanks to the involvement of local professionals,
Scouts studied with the Plumbers and Pipefitters Union to earn the Welding merit badge and
with King’s Daughters Medical Center staff to earn the Medicine merit badge.
Thank you to our community partners,
professional volunteers, and experienced
merit badge counselors, Scouts in Scioto
County had the opportunity to discover
an interest in these varied subjects.

2,971 civic engagement badges earned
4,293 STEM-related badges earned
The Simon Kenton Council is doing its part to address some of the area’s
biggest concerns: environmental conservation, childhood obesity, and low
math and science scores. Through the merit badge programs listed above,
youth build self-esteem, become environmentally conscious, learn healthy
lifestyle habits and are better prepared for studies in math and science.
Additionally, youth learn how to be good citizens and the importance of civic
engagement.
