Welcome Maksym Dannyk our
International Scout Camp Staffer from the Ukraine!
|
|
Maksym Dannyk will be joining our Summer Camp Staff at Camp Chief Little Turtle this summer. Maksym is a 22 year old Scout Leader from Kyiv (or Kiev) Ukraine. Kiev is the capital and the largest city in the Ukraine and is about the size of Chicago.
Maksym has been in Scouts for 11 years as a youth and 4 years as trained adult. He is a part of the Orthodox Scouts of Ukraine, which was established in 2007. The organization is close to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchy) – essentially, its activities take place at its parishes. There are actually several national Scouting Organizations operating in the Ukraine, where the US has only one.
He currently attends the Kiev National University of Technology and Design. Maksym has well-rounded Scouting skills. He specializes in many outdoor skills including backpacking, hiking, “Alpining”, orienteering, camping, and survival; and watercraft skills in Kayaking.
The International Scout program at camp will include a meet and greet “International Day” with Maksym and patch/badge trading for Scouts. So begin your Ukrainian understanding by learning to pronounce, “Будь готов!”, “Be Prepared!”
Maksym will be travelling light for his long trip to the US in a couple of months. He would like to borrow a sleeping bag and a foot locker with padlock for the summer. If you can donate or loan one or the other, please let Bryan Lineberry know. He is coordinating his camp equipment. If you can help, please contact Bryan at

Registration and lunch will begin at 11:30 am, shotgun start at 12:30 pm and awards presentation and dinner to follow, around 5:30 pm. We are expecting around 140 players with the Florida Scramble format. It is strongly encouraged to share this with your business associates and friends and ask them to consider participating in the event. When making a commitment ask, always seek a sponsorship at the Eagle Level or foursome, they may choose to consider another sponsorship level that is higher or lower, but setting a higher bar will produce higher results. Please let Chuck Walker know if you need any assistance in making a request.
Participation in this year's tournament is an investment in preparing youth to overcome the challenges of tomorrow and to be successful in their personal and professional life. Scouting is an adventure, full of exciting discoveries that build more capable young people who will lead our community through tested leadership, achievement, character, service and stewardship.
