• Free Performance of Tzofim Friendship Caravan August 7

Boy and girl scouts, Tzofim, from Israel return to Greensboro for a free performance at Shiloh Baptist Church located at 1210 S Eugene St, Greensboro, NC 27406 on August 7 at 7:00 pm in the sanctuary.  This exciting group of 16 and 17-year old scouts bring a program of song, dance and cultural exchange appropriate for all ages.

Sponsored by the local Beth David Synagogue community and the Old North State Scoutreach Committee you and your family are invited to meet these young people as they complete their tour of the southeastern United States. This is one of four groups that have toured throughout the United States as part of an annual program to share personal stories and friendship with all.

These scouts, Caravan Dekel, appeared in Greensboro earlier in June making stops at Beth David, Fellowship Presbyterian, Archer Elementary and Abbotswood Assisted Living Center with rave reviews.  The warmth and friendliness shown by these scouts are fine examples of what we hope to create through our programs in the Old North State Council.

The Scoutreach Committee and the Scoutreach program hopes you will enjoy this evening of entertainment as we support the underserved youth throughout our council.  Striving to provide a full scouting experience for all youth is our goal.  Make plans to attend this fun event now!
