The 2019 Spring Camporee is ON!

4/17/2019

Can your Troop handle the heat of the Great Cast Iron Cook Off?

Do you have a patrol that can prepare a full meal using every part of the MyPlate nutritional standards? And make it taste awesome? Using only a cast iron vessel?

That my friends is what the Great Cast Iron Cook Off is all about.

Will your patrol find all the food for the "scavenger's stomach" or will you be "chopped" from the competition?

Can you build a fire fast enough to rise to the "hot drink challenge" at the top of the hill?

DETAILED CAMP-O-REE GUIDE COMING SOON!

2019 District Pinewood Derby Championship

3/24/2019

I know a lot of you have been waiting to hear the details about the 2019 District Pinewood Derby. With the recent loss of our District Activities Chair we have been busy pulling a team together to run this year's event. We are thankful that two units have stepped forward to support this event with their tracks and that several others have offered to assist with the administration events of the day.

The District Pinewood Derby is scheduled for Saturday April 27th at Christ the King School in Burlington.

Details
Cost: $9 per scout.
Time: Registration and weigh-in 10:30 am - 12:30 pm
Race time - 1:00 pm
Finals - 2:15 pm
Closing - 2:45

Please note that units MUST preregister for this event. The deadline is April 22. Any Scout(s) not registered by the deadline will NOT be allowed to race; there will be NO race-day registrations allowed. This creates many delays in updating the software and dealing with payment logistics.

You will find links to the Rules, Registration Form, and Electronic Registration form (new) to help expedite the import of scouts into the racing software.

We are looking for volunteers to help with Race Events. If you are willing to assist, please use the following link to sign-up: VOLUNTEER

If you have any questions you may contact me @ kjbell66@hotmail.com.

Thanks,
Ken Bell
District Chairman

A gentle reminder to all Boy Scout units that effective January 1, 2017 all Scouts MUST use the new BSA Advancement requirements for all ranks. Unit leaders and unit committee members (Advancement Chairs, etc.), need to take the necessary steps to ensure each Scout is working off the the new requirements.

If the Scout does not want to purchase new books there is an insert available:

For information on specific ranks, see link below:
http://www.scouting.org/filestore/pdf/2016BoyScoutRequirements_8.14.2015.pdf

This is important information for everyone to know and follow. Please take the time to read through the information to ensure all Scouts have complied as they move up the ladder to Eagle.

SPECIAL EDITION: Learn How New Cub Scout Advancement Modifications Offer Greater Flexibility

12/2/2016

This email is being sent from Mark Logemann in Membership Growth to all Regional/Area/ Council Key 3’s

Learn How New Cub Scout Advancement Modifications Offer Greater Flexibility

The BSA announces modifications to Cub Scouting that make the program more flexible for busy parents, den leaders, and Cubmasters.

As you may be aware, with one year of experience, feedback suggests that the new design of the Cub Scout program did successfully address many original concerns, but also indicates an opportunity for further modification. The fine-tuning reflects the BSA’s three-step approach to new programs: Launch. Learn. Modify.

Some Den Leaders are having difficulty fitting all the Adventures required for advancement into their program year given their number of Den meetings. This is resulting in boys not advancing. After a thoughtful and deliberate review, the modifications are being implemented to address this concern. These modifications, approved today by the BSA’s Executive Committee, are designed to ensure that Adventure requirements are achievable by today’s Cub Scout dens within a program year and achievable by Cub Scouts from a wide range of backgrounds and socio-cultural experiences.

Most modifications involve the number of requirements to be completed, reducing the mandate to a number achievable within the limited time available to many dens, while retaining rich program options that allow leaders to build strong programs adapted to local needs and situations.

The transition will be seamless, with leaders choosing to use revised requirements as the den begins any new Adventure.
Visit scouting.org/programupdates for more information or to review the entire program. The following "Bryan on Scouting" blog post will be the lead source for these changes.

Similar communication will be going to every registered Tiger Leader, Den Leader, Webelos Leader and Cubmaster, as well as various other constituent groups like Commissioners, Training teams, and others but please forward/share this information with any group or via any communication system as you see fit.

Please send all questions and comments to: communications@scouting.org
