Explorer Post 50 In his latest blogpost Capitol Sports & Durham Bulls Vice President George Habel celebrates the accomplishments of several Explorer Post 50 members as the 2012 Durham Bulls season ends. See what he has to say:

Post 50 Goes to College
I have to brag on our Explorer Post 50 scholarship recipients…

In cooperation with FOX 50 TV, the Bulls sponsor an Exploring program (through the Occoneechee Council, Boy Scouts of America) that provides training to about 75 young people in television broadcasting. This group of students, most of them in high school, produce the Bulls’ in-house video, televised games and webcasts. Amazing program! Amazing kids! 

We awarded six $1,000 tuition grants last month as the 2012 season was winding down…and our Post 50 members were heading off to college for the fall semester. Here’s a list of winners from the scholarship competition administered by the Triangle Community Foundation. Check out the GPAs and their plans for matriculation. (Did I use that word correctly?)
