The remote islands and atolls of the Pacific are overwhelmed by poverty and limited opportunities. Scouting on these islands provides a substantial resource in the development of young lives and the young people living there. As we look for more and more ways to better serve our youth in the Pacific, we ask assistance from our entire Scouting family on behalf of these future leaders.There are so many ways that individuals or groups can help these young boys and girls. Individuals who are interested can be Island Commissioners, adopting and visiting an island periodically to help run our Scouting programs; Venturing crews or patrols can spend their annual high adventure experience in the islands learning about new cultures and running summer camps; people or groups can adopt an island financially to help support its annual Scouting program; or districts, units or individuals can help collect donated uniforms to send to the different islands. Many of our youth have never had a new shirt in their life. Imagine what a Scout uniform would do for these young men.
