University of Scouting

GOLD is a proud partner of the Minsi Trails Council, and this year, we're thrilled to announce that we'll be the Presenting Sponsor of the "University of Scouting" event at Lehigh Carbon Community College on Saturday, September 24. This annual event is a supplemental training opportunity for Scouts. It's the only time of the year where you'll find the widest variety of training opportunities covering all program areas in one place. You'll learn about high adventures, take part in shooting sports activities, learn simple how-to's, and more.

We're happy to lend a helping hand to the Scouts on their banking journeys and support their mission of preparing young people for life. We offer programs designed just for the Scouts to help them earn their Personal Management Merit Badge and provide funding for their Eagle Projects. Learn more here.
