We are in the final stages of installing the brick pavers at the new Camp Bud Schiele sign. These pavers are only for CBS Staff Alumni and is a great way to support CBS and have a lasting impact as well. If you haven't purchased your CBS Alumni Brick, please do so today. We are looking for an additional 100 previous staff members to help ensure our success and your donation will help to replace the other signs leading into camp. Bricks may be purchased here: https://forms.piedmontcouncilbsa.org/view.php?id=10060724 . Please help by sharing this post with everyone you know who worked at CBS.
