CALLING ALL COMMISSIONERS,

We are scheduled to transition to the "Commissioner Tools" platform on Myscouting.org in March 2015.  This will present significant changes in how we log our visits (UTVS will disappear) which will now be called contacts; how we conduct unit evaluations; and in the overall approach to providing unit service.  National has scheduled a series of webcasts for all Commissioners to attend prior to the transition; you can register through your Myscouting.org account.

However, since we are on Eastern time, most of the seminars are kind of late on week nights so we are planning a collective viewing of this Saturday's webcast at the Scout Office at 4:45 pm for anyone interested. 

We will have some munchies and beverages so please RSVP by replying to this message here, if you are available and plan to attend so we can get an approximate count.

 Thanks !

2017 National Jamboree

I know how hard it is for any of us to plan that far ahead but it is time! If you are interested in going to Jamboree as a Council Unit Leader please start planning. We will have a Council Leader selection process in place by early spring and be accepting applications soon after. If you want to be on staff at the Jamboree it is not too early to start following the Summit site and information to understand the planned program elements for the next Jamboree. Finally, if you want to get your Scout on the list to go the Council is accepting a $100 payment now.   We do not have a final cost yet but a good assumption would be about $1250-1300, plus spending money. That gives us all a good long time to save our money. I overheard someone talking that he was just putting his pocket change in a jar everyday for the next two years and should have enough to cover most of his costs by Jamboree time. Get your Scout to save too!
