2019 District Pinewood Derby Championship - Race Results!

5/2/2019

I want again thank all the volunteers who stepped up to make this event happen on such short notice. These folks all put a lot of time into the planning and execution of this event which was a huge success. I'd also like to thank Christ the King school for there support of this event; they were great hosts to work with!

We acknowledge that the timing of this event was not perfect due to school break, however we still had a large number of scouts turn out for some great racing. We will work hard to recruit our volunteers earlier in the process this coming year as we work to avoid scheduling around school break next year.

The race results are available below. As a reminder, times from one track are much slower/faster, depending on how you look at it. Please don't try to compare times between races or tracks.

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

Thanks,
Ken Bell
District Chairman

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?

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
