TRAINING
Every unit made a commitment  in January to improve the number of direct contact leaders that are fully trained in their position. While the district has some training courses being held in Norfolk, you can attend a training course being held outside the district. Check out the council calendar for a complete list of training courses being held all around the council.  The complete list of all training completed and dates appears at the bottom.  If your name is on the list you need to complete Youth Protection Training by the end of the year in order to recharter.  This list does not include Merit Badge Counselors who also need the training.


Introduction to Outdoor Leadership Skills
This course is scheduled for September 17-19 at Camp Strother in Chesapeake.  If you have any question contact Calvin Whealton at the email address at the top of the page.
Cub Leader Specific –
September 25 at Christ the King School
                                                    October 23 at Calvin Presbyterian Church
       


DISTRICT SERVICE PROJECT
We will be again collecting food in late November for a December 4th turn in to benefit local food pantries. We are looking for a chair person who would like to take this second annual event and make it better.

SCOUT FEST 100
Is your unit ready for the weekend of your life? A weekend of Scouting events, great bands, and a national comedian (SINBAD) is coming October 15-17 at the Virginia Beach Amphitheater. Remember some of the deadlines that are fast approaching.
  • First deadline is September 20th for the early bird registration.
     o Early registration is $20 this includes the specials edition CSP
          Special popcorn registration is $15 if your unit turns in $1000 in sales by September 20
     o Will need unit roster with registration
  • Video contest submissions are October 2nd.
     o We are looking for fun loving, original videos, that demonstrates to either the public or fellow Scouts some aspect of Scouting that you enjoy and should last no more than 5 minutes.


BE A SCOUT
This interactive Google map feature is now live and available for people looking for a pack, troop, or crew. Has the Cubmaster, Scoutmaster, Advisor or Committee Chair updated your unit’s information pin by logging onto www.myscouting.org? This will drive people to your unit with your contact information. You can also include upcoming activities in the announcements box.
 

JOINING SCOUTING
By now your unit should have planned out when and where your Scout Night will be. What support can the district give you to make your event super successful? We have flyers to pass out in the school before the event to encourage the youth to come out. Also there are yard signs that you can obtain and place throughout your community. Some units made their own signs to promote their units that are great last year.

 

POPCORN
It is that time of year again to start the sales and help your unit earn money. This is the only council sponsored fundraiser for the year. If you have not yet signed up to sell, it is not too late. Let your youth attempt this project and earn achievements and merit badges by selling. Yes, selling popcorn is Cub Scout electives and partials for several merit badges. There are still plenty of Farm Fresh locations available for the two weekends we are authorized to conduct Farm Fresh Popcorn Sales are as follows:

Friday evening, October 1 - from 6 p.m. - 9 p.m.
Saturday, October 2 - from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m.
Sunday, October 3 - from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m.

or the following weekend

Friday evening, October 8 - from 6 p.m. - 9 p.m.
Saturday, October 9 - from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m.
Sunday, October 10 - from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m.

Under No circumstances are units to contact Farm Fresh Stores.  Reservations are made exclusively through Linda Boyce by emailing lboyce@bsamail.org and requesting the store location, date and time.  She will confirm your request or let you know what times and locations are left available.

COMMISSIONERS STAFF LIST

The below list is a listing of all commissioners, their assigned units, and how to contact them.  As you can see, the district commissioner is a lot like a Marine Recruiter.  She is looking for a few good Scouters to join the elite and proud team called Commissioners

TRAINING (Updated August 10, 2010)

Every youth deserves a trained leader is the motto of the training committee.  Have you asked yourself why that is their motto?  A trained leader knows what resources are available, how to best use those resources, and knows how to deliver the promise of Scouting to the youth in a fun way.  Below is a listing of what training has been completed by the registered position.
