Dear Friends of the Hungarian Scouts of the Bay Area:
The Hungarian Girl Scout Troop 43. and Boy Scout Troop 77. are the Bay Area’s most important Hungarian youth educational groups. This year we have the pleasure to invite our Sponsors to our 49th annual Hungarian Scouts Ball which will take place on February 24, 2024 at the elegant Green Hills Country Club. With your assistance we will be able to sell many raffle tickets and make this a successful event!
The whole raffle ticket sale and the profit of the Ball will benefit the Scouts, as well as the children’s school program by providing necessary educational materials.
Please consider a donation of a gift certificate or merchandise. The donation deadline for program inclusion is February 15. 2024. The event’s program will publicize your business to more than 160 attendees, as well as all the scout and school families who can patronize your business.
- We have 98 scouts in our two Scout Troops and our school has 8 classes where the children learn the Hungarian language, literature, history and geography.
- The Hungarian Scouting program was founded in Hungary in 1910, and was established in the United States in 1950s. The Hungarian Scouting Association in the San Francisco Bay area was founded in 1969. In 1984 the two scouting groups celebrated their 15 year anniversary, and thanks to Benedictine Fathers, the troops moved to the Woodside Priory and held all their meetings and activities there ever since.
- The scouting program is closely affiliated with Hungarian classes held on the weekends. The Association maintains an excellent leader-training program for patrol leaders, assistant scoutmasters and scoutmasters for girl guides, boy scouts and cub scouts.
- In the summer of 2024, we are planning to send 10 children to the “Sík Sándor” Scout Leadership Camp on the East Coast.
Your donations are tax deductible as the Hungarian Scouts and School is a designated 501(c) (3) non-profit organization.
Thank you for your consideration in supporting Hungarian Scout Troops. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or visit our website at: http://sfcserkesz.org/hu/
