Boy Scouts of America Presents Symbol of Appreciation to Polaris Industries Inc.

Boy Scouts of America Assistant Chief Scout Executive of Development Brad Farmer presented Polaris Industries Inc. a “one-of-a-kind” print created by award-winning artist Greg Newbold to commemorate the kick-off of Polaris’ 10-year commitment to provide off-road vehicles (ORV), safety equipment, and safety instruction to Boy Scout camps.

The pilot program, through which Polaris donated ORVs and safety gears to Northern Star Council’s Tomahawk Scout Reservation and Northern Lights Council’s Camp Wilderness, was very successful: hundreds of Scouts received basic riding and maintenance instructions and earned safety patches. The program is now available in Boy Scout local councils across the United States.

“We are proud of this partnership with Polaris that helps us in our commitment to provide programs that build the character of young people and train them for life,” said Farmer, who presented the print to Polaris Chairman and CEO Scott Wine and Polaris President and COO Bennett Morgan.

“Polaris is excited to partner with the Boys Scouts of America and work together to implement a program that introduces youth to outdoor sports with an emphasis on safety, responsible riding, and respect for the environment,” said Wine. “A special thanks to the entire BSA organization for the beautiful print and the opportunity to help educate the youth of today on these important issues.”
