Are your Scouts aware of the amazing heroes that exist in our community that keep our cities moving, successful and amazing?
Are your Scouts aware of the behind-the-scenes individuals who do so much for our communities and never got the spotlight they deserve?
Do your Scouts have requirements this year to meet certain individuals such as police officers, elected officials or firefighters and you are struggling with finding a way to organize these gatherings?
Come out to the inaugural “Heroes in the Community” sponsored by Scouting America and Newark Vice Mayor Eve Marie Little! This event is being put together so that all kids in the tri-city area have a chance to meet and shake hands with the folks that build our communities! So far we have had Assemblymember Alex Lee, Senator Aisha Wahab, Newark Police Department, Alameda County Firefighters, Newark Rotary Club, Alameda County Library and so many more have signed up!
When your scout arrives, they will be given a “Bingo-like” card which they will go to each hero booth to get stamped. After they have gone to all the booths, they come to the final table and get a prize!
DATE: Saturday, October 4th from 10am to 1pm
WHERE: Silliman Center, 6800 Mowry Avenue in Newark
COST: This event is FREE to all kids from Newark, Fremont and Union City!
UNIFORMS: Scouts are being asked to wear their Class A uniforms so we can make sure they get the right items written off.
