Mission:  A community based, non-profit organization dedicated to the support of the family in developing moral values, responsibility, and character in young people. 

History:  in 1991, Paul Bewie, then District Governor with Kiwanis International and resident of Hot Springs Village, saw a saw a critical need for a safe place for children to go after school as their parents were still working.  Paul motivated dedicated parents, civic clubs, churches, business representatives, and local residents to join together in a cooperative effort to raise over one million dollars in cash and in-kind donations to create "The Positive Place for Kids" in the North Garland County area.  In the fall of 1991, thirty-five acres of land was purchased on Highway 7, just north of Hot Springs Village, and the North Garland County Youth Center was organized.

After affiliating with the Boys and Girls Club of America in 1994, it became the North Garland County Boys and Girls Club, the only rural club in the state of Arkansas.  It was cited as the #1 Rural Safe Place for Kids After School in 1998 at the Arkansas Governor's State Summit on Volunteerism.  Following the death in 2004 of its founder Paul Bewie, the name was changed  to the Paul Bewie Boys and Girls Club.  Today, the Club's official name is the North Garland County Youth Center doing business as (DBA) the Paul Bewie Boys and Girls Club.  

Facility:  On the property there are six baseball/softball fields, two soccer fields, four tennis courts, an outdoor basketball court and playground, and a facility which houses two computer labs, teen center, library, game room, teaching kitchen, several small group meeting spaces, and administrative offices.   

Council 10208 donated $1,000 to the Club in the 2009-2010 fraternal year.  Learn more about the Club by going to www.bgclubonline.com.
