In a couple of weeks I need to attend a Saturday only training event in my council called Scouter Success.  Training is a never ending task in the program and when you did most of your hard core Scouting back in the last century like me then there is plenty to catch up on.

 

The other big thing on my plate is camp promotion.  Working with the Program Director we have to finish our brochure and leaders guide ASAP.  Starting this week we are attending Round Tables to conduct camp promotions.  Then the first weekend of October we are driving down to South Florida for twin camp promotion expos for the troops down there.

 

Camp promotion season is kinda strange because even though we just finished our first summer many troops have annual planning conferences where they make plans for 2019.  So we need to get on their radar now.  Add to that the fact that we have designed an all new program for camp so it's time to get the word out.

 

I have a run of first time live auctions on eBay right now including several felt and 1950's era camp patches from across the country.  Many of these came from collections that I have been sitting on for a while so I'm excited to see what they do.
