We would like to thank David Koesel and the OA Arrowmen in advance for all of their planning and dedication that they are putting forth to make the event successful. Planning for our District Spring Camp-o-ree is underway so look for more details at Roundtable. Troops should have already started making arrangements for 2009 summer camp. Be expecting emails and calls from the camping committee to follow up on your plans. Consider supporting our Council camp at FASR this summer. Camperships are available to FASR. Membership (Claude Mosley and Rick Michels) – We would like to thank and congratulate all of our Cub units for a great recruiting year. Thank you to David Lane and his commissioner staff for helping with school recruiting nights and Tina McGuire who did an awesome job in the Bartow area. Training (Gary Braun) – Cubmasters, Scoutmasters, and Committee Chairmen, training is a very important part of the program. Please make sure that your leaders are trained and are aware of upcoming training opportunities in the District and Council.
Advancement (James Eager) - The Eagle Project Committee is now reviewing Eagle Scout candidate projects on the second Thursday of each month at the Lakeland Library. Please be sure to call someone on the committee to schedule your review in advance. Finance (Dana Torres) – Our 2009 Family FOS campaign will be kicking off in December at all Boy Scout Red and Green Banquets. We will be visiting all of the our Cub units in January and February at their Blue and Gold Banquets. Unit leaders, please email your Banquet date to me at dana.torres@polk-fl.net and be sure to copy Aaron Pickle at apickle@boyscouting.com. Christine Crowell, District Chairman…I would like to thank our District Committee for their dedicated leadership to the program, the leaders, and the Scouts of Thunderbird. You have all been working so hard to bring our District together and it shows! Last year our team earned the well deserved status of Centennial Quality District and we are well on our way to wrapping up another very successful year thanks to all of your hard work and dedication. David Lane, District Commissioner - Our District is in need of Unit Commissioners. Unit Commissioners are crucial to the success of our units and ultimately to our District. There is so much knowledge in our District that we have not tapped into. We are appealing to anyone that would like to “adopt” a unit and become a Unit Commissioner to email or call me to find out more information about how to sign up. If you are a Webelos leader or a Webelos parent that has a Scout that will or has crossed over into Boy Scouts and would like to continue to help in some capacity, we would love to talk to you about becoming a Unit Commissioner so you could share your many years of knowledge with another unit or perhaps the unit that you’re leaving. Please consider becoming a Unit Commissioner today and giving back to the program that has given you and your Scout so much! Roundtable is held the first Thursday of every month at 7:15pm at the first Presbyterian Church on Lake Hollingsworth. Come |
