The Bee Cave District welcomes Mathew Nazareth as our commissioner for Special Needs Scouting. Mathew has brought home to our district a wealth of knowledge and resources from the Capitol Area Council's Special Needs and Disabilities Roundtable. The overview presentation is attached below (or click here to open it). Advancement guidelines, activities from local opportunities to high adventure, unit-level assistance, and a toolbox of resources and guidance - it's all there. Please reach out to Mathew (mnazaret64@gmail.com) if he can help serve you or your unit.

Join with local community leaders and other Scouts for the first Camo & Campfires event, to be held at VFW Post 4443 located at 7614 Thomas Springs Rd in Austin. The program begins at 5:00 PM and will conclude by 8:00 PM. Together, attendees will have the chance to submit questions for the veterans in attendance, and engage in honest conversation and storytelling with these local heroes who have served our nation. The event - including delicious food provided by Salt Lick as well as veteran-owned PureJerky - is free but for planning purposes, RSVP is required via text message to 512-288-4443.

Two years ago, all existing adult leaders needed to complete the "new" Youth Protection Training, so many of us will need to renew our YPT this year in order to recharter! Please don't wait until the last minute, as the online systems might get crushed.

• Youth Protection training is required for all BSA registered volunteers and is a joining requirement.
• Youth Protection training must be taken every two years. If a volunteer’s Youth Protection training record is not current at the time of recharter, the volunteer will not be re-registered.
