 Consider the ideas of the Cub Scout Law

A Cub Scout follows Akela
A Cub Scout helps the pack grow
The pack helps the Cub Scout go
A Cub Scout gives goodwill.

Now liken those same ideas in conjunction with the pack and district
A Cub Scout Pack follows Leon Valley District
The Pack helps the District grow
The District helps the Pack go
The Pack gives goodwill.

Are you a Pack that follows the ideas of the Cub Scout Law? Come to roundtable and find out what is happening in your district and recieve on going training and ideas for the coming month's theme. Roundtable is the second Tuesday of every month at 7:00pm at Immanual Luthren Church. Hope the see you there.

A Plea for Instructors

 

 

Thanks to our most wonderful volunteer trainers, all sessions for BALOO have been covered, except for Aims and Purposes from 9:05-9:30. If anyone's interested, please let me know.

You are all a great bunch of Scouters and I consider myself very lucky to work with you all. Thank you for all you do!
 

YIS,

We are about to enter the 2010 Friends of Scouting (FOS) Campaign.  I am the District's Family FOS Chair.  We are asking units to sign up for an FOS presentation during your Pack Blue & Gold or Troop/Team/Crew/Ship Court of Honor early next year so that we may get the campaign completed early in the year.  Sign up may be done either during the upcoming Roundtables or by emailing me. The presentation takes about 30 minutes of time.  Presenters will be designated once units sign up.  Sign up information that is needed is tentative date and time, location, contact person's name and position, phone number and email address.

Frank Leslie, LVD Family FOS Chair

  Order of the Arrow

It's time once again for Scoutmasters to look at the eligible boys and adults; for consideration into OA. Keep in mind, any boy that was elected/adult that was selected last year, but did not attend one of the Ordeal weekends; will need to be re-elected/selected. To reserve your election date, you can email Mike Harrison.  It would also be a good idea to follow that up with a phone call. Mike's number is 289-3516.

The last day to get tickets for the District Dinner will be 01 Apr. They can either be pruchased at Roundtable next week, or you can contact Eric Fremming. Cost is $12/person, ansd dinner is Thursday, 8 Apr; at Big Hoss BBQ, http://bighossbbq.com/index.html.  This year's theme is the same as thenCub Scout day camp.

The information for the District Spring Camporee has been finalized. The complete packet can be accessed in either PDF (Adobe Acrobat Reader) or RTF (Notepad/Word) formats. This will be the first opportunity for the newly elected OA candidates to be tapped out.

Got an idea for a topic to discuss at the Boy Scout portion of Roundtable? Is there a problem you are have and want the opinion of your fellow Scouters. Contact Warren Swader and let him know.

It's that Time Again!

Ever been to a National Jamboree? Want to go again? Never been, but thought about going? Well here's your chance. The web page is up and running. To check it out, click here. This is definitely the one to attend; as it will be the 100th anniversary of the BSA. It will also be the last one at Ft A. P. Hill. If the contingent troop cost is too much for your budget, consider working staff. The advantage is that you only page the actually cost. The possible disadvantage is that you have to provide your own transportation. This webmaster will be there again (fourth time); working at Bikathlon A. Hope to see some of you there. 

It was suggested that leaders check out a book called "Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder" For a review on the book, click here.
