Rescue Squad Supports Scouting
By: Jim Sawyer
The programs of the Boy Scouts of America have their greatest impact on young people through the efforts,
time, talent, generosity and leadership of hundreds of adult volunteers. Crucial support also comes from
countless organizations, including that of churches, civic clubs, schools, and government and business
agencies. Among those key relationships in this community are the employees and administrative staff
members of the Rowan County Rescue Squad.
This support and interest has been maintained and strengthened over many years. The items so helpful to
Scouting include the following. The Rowan County Rescue Squad provides a vehicle, trained professionals, and
complete emergency first aid care on-site for Cub Scout Day Camp and charters an Explorer Post for teenagers
interested in learning about all aspects of Emergency Services as a possible career or avocation. The squad
also brings the huge rescue airboat and required personnel to the annual Learning for Life Day at
Camp John J. Barnhart for special education classes throughout the Rowan-Salisbury Schools System.
The volunteer and professional staff of the Central North Carolina Council, Boy Scouts of America, is deeply
grateful to Eddie Cress, director, and the selfless and helpful employees of the Rowan County Rescue
Squad for their leadership and support of Scouting. The Rowan County Rescue Squad, Inc., is an agency
of the United Way of Rowan County.
