Duke Energy recently presented a donation in the amount of $7,500 to the Tuscarora Council – BSA that is based in Goldsboro.

The check was presented to help support the Tuscarora Councils youth recruitment efforts. The money will be used to help increase our youth membership especially in our under-served areas and schools.

District Director Kirk Mayers said “This money will help us reach every student in our area and offer them the opportunity to join Scouting. Scouting strengthens families, provides adventure, a social outlet and compliments traditional educational learning.”

There are approximately 2000 current youth members and volunteers in the council and that serves Wayne, Duplin, Johnston and Sampson Counties.
