Fwd: Scout Training - Your Personal Invitation

Crosstimbers Scouters,

I am inviting you to attend the Longhorn Council's College of Commissioner Science on Saturday, August 6, at Texas Christian University. The cost is $20 for a whole day of incredible training opportunities and lunch, featuring BBQ from Michael Bay's Cowboy Catering.

Longhorn Council's new Scout Executive, John Coyle, will speak at the opening ceremony. Then you have more than 45 courses available to you! Attached is the course catalog, and the link to register is at the end of this e-mail.

You don't have to be a commissioner to attend Longhorn Council's College of Commissioner Science (although I think you would make a great one). We have courses that are perfect for incoming unit leaders, with a learning track for unit leaders that includes courses about:

· Unit Annual Planning
· Unit Finance
· Unit Action Plans
· Recruiting New Members
· The Journey to Excellence Award
· Unit Websites
· BSA's New "Mandatory Training Requirement"
· Methods of Scouting
· History of Scouting
· Successful "Webelos-to-Scout" Transitions
· BSA's Online Advancement System (and why each unit should use it even if they use other advancement software like TroopMaster or PackMaster).

Feel free to share this e-mail with other Scouters you think might be interested. Even Scouters who have attended before should look at coming back. There are some new offerings at this year's College of Commissioner Science. Come learn about:

· BSA's new "mandatory training requirements."
· What you need to know about the Journey to Excellence Award.
· Maximizing your unit's online web presence.
· How to utilize BSA's online advancement, even if you use another advancement program like TroopMaster or PackMaster.

Sign up today for the College of Commissioner's Science at the InteliScout website:

Or, you can come register at 8:30 a.m. on the day of training.

I hope to see you there!
