What is a Kinus? There can be many answers to this question. Basically a Scout Kinus is a gathering of Scouts, Scouters and possibly family and guests, usually as a campout. It may be a weekend event or even a week over a school vacation. There are many variations, but they all combine Scouting with Judaism. The Connecticut Yankee Kinus is an early fall weekend event.
Who goes to a Kinus? WeBeLoS, Boy Scouts, Explorers, and Venture Scouts. WeBeLoS parents are encouraged to attend. Older boys' parents are invited, too. In the future, we hope to be able to include: Tiger Cubs, Cub Scouts, Brownie Scouts, Girl Scouts, siblings, and guests.
What is the purpose of a Kinus? To provide a setting in which Jewish Scouts gather to learn, play, study, meet, camp, hike, earn religious emblems, discuss, worship and generally have fun.
How much is the Kinus? It is $10.00 plus a fee to be determined by each troop for Kosher food.
