Boy Scout Camping was down again this year, with less than half of eligible scouts going to summer camp or high adventure bases.

Please record your Community service hours with Council Service Center if you are not associated with a unit.

Unit contacts by Commissioners: currently 34%   Can we reach at least 45% by end of year? Are all visits being logged?

Direct Leader training: Currently at 47%, above the Council average of 44%, (Thank you  Richard and training staff)  Would be great to reach 60% by end of year with new leaders completing online training and getting it recorded.
