NFL Golf Outing

Volunteers are needed for the annual golf tournament sponsored by the Madison Chapter of the NFL Alumni Association with proceeds going to the Glacier’s Edge Council, and the UW Children’s Hospital.

Adult leaders, Boy Scouts, and Venturers are needed to assist during the tournament held Monday, July 26, 2010 at Trappers Turn Golf Club, Wisconsin Dells WI. This is a good time to seek autographs from visiting NFL veterans and to show our support by providing a service corps for the tournament.

Scouts assist in greeting players and loading of golf bags on carts, serving refreshments, measuring “closest to the pin” on several holes. Volunteers join the NFL Alumni, corporate sponsors and others for lunch under the tent.

Please arrive in uniform by 8 a.m. to help with parking and golf bags. The tournament ends around 4:30 p.m. depending on the pace of play. We need 12 Scouts/Venturers both in the morning and afternoon with adult leaders.
