Outdoor skills are critical to the success of Scouting, and Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills and Outdoor Webelos Leader (OWL) Training will provide new leaders with the basic knowledge and abilities needed to run an outdoor program.

The two courses will be taught together beginning September 27 with the Webelos training lasting one day and the other course including an overnight campout and continuing through September 28.

IS THIS PROGRAM REALLY NECESSARY OR IS IT A WASTE OF MY TIME?

Most Scouters will tell you that the main purpose of the Join Scouting Night ( I'll abbreviate from here on out with JSN) is to enroll prospective cub scouts from the 1st,2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th grades in existing Cub Scout Packs. I respectfully disagree. It is my opinion that the main purpose is to enlist parent participation in the program. We recruit parents by recruiting boys. 

The plan is simple and many of you have been through this over the years. For those who are new, a pack designates a night in your local elementary school or church between the dates of Sept 1st and Sept 15th when prospective boy members and their parents will be invited to attend a special meeting at the school in their neighborhood or community.

The 2008 Unit Popcorn Sales season is almost here!  This is a well-established fund-raising program with a successful track record for helping scouts raise money for their unit and for the Council.  Last year 236 units in the Capitol Area Council earned over $415,000 in unit commissions.

Show-n-Sell Popcorn orders are due on Tuesday, July 29th.  Be sure to get your popcorn order placed on time so that your popcorn will be delivered on August 9 when sales begin.
