Thank you for volunteering your time and talents to mentor our youth. Your commitment to community is appreciated.
Fareway and Scouting have many similarities including putting family first, working hard and being thrifty.
These similarities made the “Partner Card” a possibility. As a preferred partner of Mid-Iowa Council, we encourage you to shop Fareway for snacks, party supplies,food for ceremonies, and your adventurous camp outs.
Our organizations are committed to helping you
make Scouting more impactful for our youth.
Each Fareway store has different ways they can help your Scouting unit. Fareway encourages units to reach out to your local stores to discuss discounts, product donations, or other ways Fareway might be able to help your program.
Thank you to all our volunteers and Fareway for making a difference.
Pick your cards up at the Maytag Scout Center or at your next District meeting!

The commissioner is a friend of the unit. Of all their roles, this one is the most important. It springs from the attitude, "I care, I am here to help, what can I do for you?" Caring is the ingredient that makes commissioner service successful. He or she is an advocate of unit needs.

BSA SAFETY MOMENT
POISONOUS PLANTS
|
It’s a far-too-typical scene. You return from a weekend camping trip or outing, and late in the evening Saturday or Sunday—under that layer of dirt—you find a rash. Chances are, you’re one of the millions of Americans—many of them Scouts and Scouters—who are affected by poisonous plants each year. Almost all of us have heard “leaflets three, let it be.” Despite training to identify them on sight and efforts to avoid them, we all have stumbled through a patch of poison ivy, poison oak, poison sumac, or one of several other plants that can cause an uncomfortable itch, a rash, and perhaps blisters.
