2012 Camp Card Program

In response to lower popcorn sales, the Atlanta Area Council is presenting a great alternative fundraiser in the 2012 Camp Card program. The cards sell for $5 each, and yield 50% ($2.50) directly into the Scout’s account. This is a great deal for the purchaser as well, because the $5 cost is recovered just by using the one time use Publix snap off coupon ($5 off $50 purchase). Additionally there are other great discount offers (all except the Publix offer may be used multiple times) on the reverse side of the card.

  Serving youth for over 40 years, Troop 465 has had a proud heritage of molding boys into men according to the criteria listed above. Our Scoutmaster Emeritus, George Lingefelt, say's "If you want boys to become leaders, you have to train them and then let them lead", and thus began our "boy-lead troop" mind set. Mike Pellegrino is our current Scoutmaster and passes these skills on. In fact, Scoutmaster Pellegrino is only our 5th Scoutmaster since 1963.

Since 1996, the Troop Sponsor has been 465 Alumni, Inc., dba Friends of Troop 465, a non-profit organization specifically enacted to support Troop 465 both financially and philosophically. Troop 465 has a permanent Scout Hut, on over 3 acres, thanks to the generosity and foresight of 465 Alumni, Inc.

Troop 465 is unique because of the tremendous support from our members and their families. If you would like more information about joining troop 465, please click here.
