Every year, the North Sioux City City Council provides monetary donations to various youth programs including the Mid-America Council of the Boy Scouts of America. Last year, it came to the council’s attention that the local boy scout troop – Troop 28 and Pack 28 – is no longer associated with that particular council. So in order for the city’s contributions to benefit local scouts, the donations need to be made to the Tri-State Youth Association (TSYA). Since 2011, the city has contributed $3,000 annually for local scouts.
