Hello All!
I have a few important items to share with everyone. First off I have a few people that try to get in touch with someone at council and sometimes there is a problem so here is my Cell Phone: 817.676.8731.
TRAINING: Attached is a PDF titled "What makes a trained leader" I would like you to take a look at when you have time. We have a new training chair, Richard Kincaid, and he is ready to get some BALOO and IOLS trainings set up. We need trainers and participants. Because we have been without a training chair for quite some time all feedback and needs you may have are welcomed. His contact info is as follows: kincaidrichard@hotmail.com and 972.953.5896.
FOS: If we have not had a conversation about goal setting that needs to happen ASAP. The PDF attachment with the random numbers is a copy of the "Goal Card" and the requirements needed to get your free cloth rank advancement items (yes this does include merit badges). Please look at it and let me know when we can set a date for the presentation. On our website, there is more info on all the new features of FOS this year that makes it quite painless.
MEMBERSHIP: We need 500 new scouts across XT to break even with last year's recruitment efforts. If you need any materials from me to promote your unit/program I will make myself available to you any time. Also, I heard a great idea from a few other DEs around here. Attach little slips of paper or stickers to halloween candy about your unit/scouts! This is great at a church fall festival or trunk or treat event as well.
FALL CAMPOREE: Now the fun part! Fall camporee is set and ready to roll! Worth Ranch campsites Austin, Fulkerson, and Breitling are our sites to host over 200 campers at the camporee this year. November 15,16, and 17 are the dates and the theme is "game design". Bring your favorite games, gear, and completed requirements 1-6 on the game design merit badge to complete it that weekend. While we do not have the dinning hall reserved, each site has a pavillion to use in case of rain. Please bring your own food for your unit. PRICE: $10 Dollars for Scouts and $5 for Adults. If you have ideas or any info at all please contact Rudy Mappus at rmappus@bh.com or 817/229-0520. Please RSVP with either one of us as soon as possible.
MEETINGS: The meeting for the Spring Camporee tonight is canceled. Please contact John Scrifes to attend the next or to add ideas at johnscrifres@yahoo.com. Don't forget all are welcome to Round Table which is the second Tuesday of the month at Pantego Christian Academy. If you don't have representation there you may miss out on important info but if you know you won't be there and need something from me I will get it to you without a problem.
LDS: Mr. Thorpe is helping coordinate a special day to train the ward presenters for the FOS presentation. We will come to you with the materials you need; we just need the contact info of each presenter when possible. After this we will set the goals for each ward to help you get free cloth rank advancement for your ward/units. By the way, I would love my LDS units to come to the camporee Friday night and Saturday!
Thank you for continuing your support in scouting and taking the time to read this monthly email. Have a great weekend (we're almost there!)
