The
mission of the Connecticut Yankee Council Jewish Committee on Scouting
(CYC-JCS) is to promote Scouting among Jewish youth,
to help Jewish institutions provide opportunities for Jewish youth,
to promote Jewish values in Scouting through our
annual Kinus, Scout Shabbats, workshops, creation of new Jewish units, and
the religious emblems program.
To
accomplish our mission, we:
Work with potential sponsors of Jewish units to increase their membership
and community/youth outreach by starting a Jewish Scouting program.
Work with local news media to highlight the benefits of Scouting to the community.
Sponsor, Organize, and Promote Jewish Scouting events including:
Annual Kinus for Webelos and Boy Scouts
which combines camping, Judaism, and Scouting
Assist Jewish Scouts in receiving a Jewish education
