Conservation Service Hours Available

This Saturday from 8:30 AM to about Noon(ish), Wood Badge will be cleaning up Camp 10 at Sid Richardson. Any youth who needs conservation service hours, this is a great opportunity as there will be weed control, mowing, brush clean up, and more going on. Camp 10 has not been maintained since course approximately 2 years ago, so there is plenty to do. We are also asking any adult who can come help to attend. There is a lot of power tool work to complete.

Please let them know you are coming so they can ensure lunch is available for you. Please notify Brian Moon (BrianMoon.bsa@gmail.com).

Roundtable Date Change – Now on 2nd Week

Last night at roundtable District leadership announced that Roundtable will be on the second Wednesday of the month starting in November. This is to align with holidays and council scheduling of meetings which District leadership needs to attend to get unit leaders the information they can use to promote advancement, fundraising, membership, etc.

Any questions, comment, or concerns can be addressed to Lynne, Brandon, or Brea (your District Key 3).
