Thanks for turning in contact information for who will be coordinating your FOS presentations, Scouting for Food and Camping options for 2009. Helping us get that early reduces last minute calls to arrange all the details
All Troops should have their O/A unit elections scheduled by now. If you have not, please see Chapter Chief Will Stott or adviser Randy Yates. Call out will be held at the Spring Camporee.
Join us April 17th – 19th at Camp Cedars for our Spring Camporee. We will have a morning full of our traditional events and an afternoon of patrol competitions including a tower building contest and patrol trebuchet shoot-off.

The Boy Scouts of America has launched the BSA Alumni Connection program in an attempt to reconnect with millions of Scouting alumni across the United States, in time for them to participate in the organization's 2010 centennial celebration. The BSA is inviting not just former Scouts, but anyone who has been impacted by Scouting, to reconnect through BSA Alumni Connection (www.BSAalumni.org).
Our annual Scouting for Food drive drop off is March 28th and pick up is April 4th. This year we will have door hangers instead of plastic bags asking people to place donated food on their front step.
