Supplies:

  1. All of the supplies needed are provided by the Relay for Life™ committee, including safety equipment, drinks, and food
  2. A site will be provided to our volunteer group in case any Scouts wish to stay the night and enjoy the festivities and entertainment
  3. Tents and sleeping gear will not be provided to Scouts that decide to stay overnight -- the Troop or individual Scouts will need to provide these

Words from Ryan:

My Involvement:

  1. I will be organizing the Scouts into different groups to accomplish all of the tasks that need to be completed.
  2. I will be constantly in communication with the entire Relay for Life™ committee to make sure that everything is going according to plan.
  3. I will be checking in with the Scouts on a regular basis to confirm that the work is being done and that everyone has a job to do and is busy.

Comments:

I am very excited and thankful to be able to be a part of this project and hope that it will be available to other aspiring Eagles in the future years to come. This will be a wonderful opportunity to have a lot of fun and help raise as much money as possible to fund cancer research so that we may eliminate the threat in our lifetime and that of our children.

In the beginning of this year alone, we've already had 91,020 confirmed cancer cases in Texas alone and almost 1.5 million around the United States. I, along with the American Cancer Society, believe that these statistics are unacceptable and that the goal of eliminating cancer as a major health threat is within reach.
