University of Scouting 2009 Registration

Friday, October 30th, 2009

Crosswinds Scouters,

Thank you if you have already signed up for Univ of Scouting this year. Nov 7 at Wake Tech will be an excellent day if you are going to attend.

For those of you that are still undecided if you want to attend this year: We have over 370 registered already to attend from our Council. We have over 121 courses. And many classes are already filled.

You still have time to register to get in the courses that you want. But DON’T wait any longer! If you wait even a few days, the classes you want to take may already be full.

Be sure to put a second choice down for every time period. As courses are very full and once it reaches the classroom limit, I cant put any more people in the room!

Although, I wish I could push more people into rooms (like the Japanese Subways!) But the NC Fire Codes wont allow it.

So, Register Today, there are plenty of courses that will help you be a better scout leader (and Parent!)

Classes that are still available include how to handle challenging youth behavior, Developing Troop Leadership, Merit Badge Counseling, Trail to Eagle (period 5-6), Cub Scout Ceremonies, Effective Pinewood Derbies, Knots for Cubs (period 4), Pack Programming and Advancements, Summertime Program, Webelos to Scout Transition, Making the most of your unit commissioner, the ABC’s of leave no trace and Cycling/Mountain Biking and many many more.

There is plenty to choose from, you just have to go online and register and pick the classes you want.

Here are the links:

Cub Scout Chuckwagon Derby Wrap-up

Monday, October 26th, 2009

All,

Those of us who went camping, you are all now veterans of a true camping experience (wet camping). Hope you had a good time. The boys had a lot of fun on the “trail” despite the rain and it was fun firing the bottle rocket into the air (thanks Neil).

Anyway, before I head out of town again, I wanted to get a quick message out to remind those who have not turned in their popcorn money to get in touch with Leopolda to schedule a time to go to her house to get your money turned in. I think the boys have done well in selling this year.

Also, we have a regular scheduled leaders meeting on Thursday, Nov. 5 at 7 p.m.

I am requesting that every member family have at least one person in attendance as well as we are going to be planning through the end of the year and will begin the planning for the Pinewood Derby, the Blue and Gold and camping in the spring. We have had several committee members move up with the graduating Webelos to the Boy Scouts and we need to fill in those positions. So please come prepared to volunteer on a committee or with a den. We have some great den leaders, but we also need to identify some backups for them. In addition, I need to find someone to back me up as the Assistant Cubmaster. These are all important roles and we need everyone’s participation to make things run smoothly.

I look forward to seeing folks on Nov. 5. Have a great Halloween if we don’t speak before then.

Randy
