Iowa Tornado

The following is the text of an email sent by BAC Scout Executive, Ethan Draddy.

June 12, 2008

Dear Scouters,

Our prayers are with the families of the four Scouts tragically killed in the tornado at a Boy Scout Camp in western Iowa. Our sincere thoughts are also with the Mid America Council Scouting family and all families impacted by the devastating events. Please keep all of the victims and their loved ones in your prayers in the weeks ahead.

Thank you to those who have called and emailed me today offering assistance. I understand that those offering help may contact the Council website at www.mac-bsa.org. We in the Baltimore Area Scouting community will also reach out offering support and help very soon.

Yours in Scouting,

Ethan Draddy
Scout Executive
