Fireball  

Winter Scouting Season is here!

The Fireball District serves the communities in Doral, Miami Springs, Miami Lakes, Carol City, and Hialeah, and has a long tradition of building youth programs in the Miami area.  For information on enrollment of youth or volunteering of adults for leadership positions, please call Joe Mizzell at 305-364-0020 x243.

Fireball's fundraising efforts through the Friends of Scouting (FOS) are currently underway for 2009!!

There is a critical need this year for additional funds so that we can maintain the same level of Scouting Programs everyone has enjoyed in recent years.  2009 will be a challenging year from many perspectives when you consider the housing market, credit markets, or the job market, but there is something we all can do!  I urge everyone to send me an email with your pledge for 2009, and please note that your pledge can be paid in convenient installments throughout 2009.

For 2009, we cannot afford to fail!

Thank you,  Joe Mizzell, District Executive for the Fireball District, Boy Scouts of America
