“Scout Night” has generated a tremendous amount of interest in the last few weeks,” says Billy Roberts, the Speedbowl’s Director of Marketing. “I’ve been on the phone a great deal regarding the event. This gives us an opportunity to share a little bit of what we do here with the local Scout Troops. I was a Scout myself, and we’re honored to play host to such great organizations.”
Long a part of the American landscape, The Boy/Girl Scouts of America were both formed in the early-1900’s, dedicated to the goals of training youth in responsible citizenship, character development and self-reliance through participation in a wide variety of outdoor activities, educational programs, and public service. Membership in both groups is in the millions world-wide.
Saturday action gets underway with grandstands opening at 4:00, and feature racing starting at 7:00.
