We are also taking sign ups for the April campout, the Isaac Davis Camporee & historic hike. Sign up by April 3rd so we can properly plan for this special campout!
Adults, I want you to become “Trained” for your leadership position! Committee Members can complete their training in about 90 minutes completely online. Assistant Scoutmasters must take a similar online training AND an overnight Introduction to Outdoor Leadership Skills (IOLS) training; Committee Members are welcome to take IOLS as well. These courses are FREE to YOU within our council as a result of the $36 “activity fee” each of our Scouts pays as part of their registration. And then there’s more training you can take after that, how about Wood Badge in the fall? See Adult Training Links for more info!!
• Any interest in attending the Red Sox Scouting Day game on April 30th?
o We do NOT yet have plans to attend this event but if you are interested, speak to your Patrol Leader or the Scoutmaster ASAP.
