Boone REMC is now Boone Power! We rebranded in August 2025 to better reflect who we are and what we do.
As part of our investment in our community, Boone Power looks for ways to support our young people. We do that by offering several youth programs each year for local students and through our scholarship program. Read on to learn more about these programs, or contact us today. You can also download a one-page overview of all our youth program using the button below.
