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.

Show-n-Sell Sign-up Times the weekend – Additional Scouts needed

Friday, October 9th, 2009

Pack,

Just a reminder for those who signed up for the Popcorn Show and Sell this weekend. This is the only fundraiser that we typically do to support the Pack. After talking to Leopolda, we’ve raised $1000 dollars from our first couple of Show and Sells. These locations are great, but there is a need for additional scouts to sign up and help this weekend. Please contact Andrea to sign up and have you son help support these efforts with our Pack. If you can’t make these events, please have your son sell in the neighborhood. We only have a couple of weeks to finish up.

In addition, I need to ask that a parent from each den volunteer to help with the popcorn money turn-in on October 24. That is going to be a busy week with the campout, but please contact Andrea and volunteer to help them with the den money that night. Since each den only has 4-5 boys currently, this should help facilitate this getting done quickly.

Thanks,
Randy
