The Boy Scouts of America has agreed to become a member of the Census 2000 partnership program. As the premier youth-serving organization in America, it is important that BSA members support the government in this community-strengthening endeavor.

Census data is used to help communities in a variety of ways including:

  • Planning for development of hospitals and other needed community services
  • Planning to lessen traffic congestion
  • Estimating the number of volunteers potentially needed and providing valuable information used in fund-raising for nonprofit agencies
  • Providing federal assistance to those in need
  • Justifying requests for federal aid in building and maintaining libraries, community centers, parks, and recreational facilities
  • Helping business owners in their planning, reducing risk

How You Can Help:

  • Fill out and return your census form.
  • Urge others in your unit and other friends and family members to complete and submit their census forms.
  • Sponsor or work with (describe a community event) to encourage Census 2000 participation.

Scout Show Cars Bring Winning
Values of Scouting Message to Local Events

The Scout show cars are nonracing prototypes of a NASCAR race car provided by the Washington Erving Motorsports racing team. The team is led by two former Scouts, NBA star Julius "Dr. J" Erving and NFL great Joe Washington. The 1999 NASCAR Busch Series season marked the second racing season for the Lexington, North Carolina-based team which features Busch Series driver Tony Roper behind the wheel of the Dr Pepper No. 50 Chevrolet Monte Carlo.

In their off time, team members work closely with the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) to promote the values of Scouting programs with the Scout show cars. You can see a Scout show car on (date) at (location, event).

In 1999, the Washington Erving Motorsports team sent the Scout show car to more than 40 events around the country. Toward the end of the year, a second Scout show car was created and put into the rotation to travel the country promoting Scouting.

"The introduction of the second Scout show car allows us to attend more events around the country, putting smiles on many more young faces and taking Scouting's message out into the public eye in more American communities," said Neal Taft, Washington Erving Motorsports team manager.

Washington Erving Motorsports team representatives accompanying the show cars share the BSA's "Strong Values, Strong Leaders--Character Counts" message at events such as camporees, Scout fairs, mall shows, car shows, and major local racing/sporting events.
