For 18 seasons, the Columbus Clippers have invited thousands of Scouts to a game to enjoy stadium hotdogs, watch fellow Scouts throw out the first pitch, to run the bases, and to pitch their tents on the field for a camporee after the game.


Their partnership in our spring recruitment efforts has been vital over the years. The “Pitch for Scouting” campaign is designed to recruit new Scouts during the spring and provide exciting programming for existing Scouts.


With the support from the Clippers, our spring recruitment campaign will have the marketing materials needed for the


volunteers and staff who work hard to recruit news Scouts.


Please join us in thanking the Columbus Clippers for their generosity and don’t forget to mark your


calendars for the 18th annual Clippers Camporee on Friday, June 16.
