Simon Kenton Council is now part of the Kroger Community Rewards Program in which Kroger customers can register their Kroger Plus card and a portion of the sale is sent to Simon Kenton Council. You can sign up on-line or print the flyer and take it to Kroger to enroll at your next visit. This program will last until 4/30/2010 and could potentially bring a significant amount of money to Simon Kenton Council to support the Scouting Program.
