Youth Outdoor Expedition Opens Doors To Scouting

Access Services received the following note from a grateful parent following her son’s participation in our Youth Outdoor Expedition program.

Thank you very much for including my son in the previous outdoor expedition. It was his first camping trip and he loved it! With the help of your staff it gave him the confidence to try new activities in a very supportive environment. Also, he wasn't the only person who needed medication and didn't have to feel embarrassed about having to take his.

My son had the opportunity to learn how to work as part of a team. He came home proud of his hard work and his new ability to make friends. For the first time, my son felt like a valuable part a team and this has given him confidence. He is now a member of a Boy Scout Troop and plays on the township lacrosse team. Without the success of the YOE, I don't think he would have had the confidence to participate in these activities.

Thank you.
