A $5,000 gift from the Arvest Foundation to The Cherokee Area Council Boy Scouts of America will be used to help with scholarships for troop membership costs and uniforms, as well as assist with day camp costs for cub scouts.

 The Cherokee Area Council Boy Scouts serves the youth of northeastern Oklahoma with the mission to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law.

Arvest Wealth Management Senior Client Advisor Terri Taylor recently presented the check to Philip Wright, Executive Director of the Cherokee Area Council Boy Scouts.
