BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA <br />GULF STREAM COUNCIL <br />November 15, 2021 <br />Jennifer Hyde, NIGP-CPP, CPPO <br />Purchasing Manager <br />Indian River County <br />1800 27th Street <br />Vero Beach, FL 32960 <br />Dear Ms. Hyde: <br />Chartered in 1914, the Gulf Stream Council of the Boy Scouts of America serves over <br />6,800 youth and 2,500 adult volunteers in Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River, Glades, <br />Okeechobee, and Hendry counties. Scouting provides educational programming for young men <br />and women designed to build character, citizenship, and fitness through fun, adventure, service, <br />achievement, and leadership training. This programming is often offered at our camps, one of <br />which, Camp Oklawaha, is located in Sebastian. Camp Oklawaha is a 60 acre wooded site <br />offering Scouts camping, swimming, fishing, archery, canoeing and other outdoor activities. The <br />camp is maintained by a part-time ranger and local volunteers who work diligently to make sure <br />the property does not get overgrown. <br />Recently, the camp's ride -on mower and push mower have both stopped working and seem to be <br />beyond repair. For this reason, we are asking the Board of County Commissioners to donate the <br />surplus equipment described below to the Gulf Stream Council for use at Camp Oklawaha. <br />• Gravely Riding Mower Serial # 3300, Asset # 22483 <br />• Hustler Riding Mower Serial # 14102080, Asset # 28401 <br />• Echo Weed Eater S72812353476 <br />• Echo Weed Eater S72812368053 <br />• Echo Weed Eater 573112059472 <br />Thank you for your consideration.
