 CHECK OUT "BE A SCOUT.ORG"!
www.beascout.org is the website created for parents who are looking onlne for information on the nearest Scouting program. Once on the website, they enter their city and zip, and a map appears with pins that represent all the Scout units near them! But there's more! If you are the registered Cubmaster/Scoutmaster/Coach/Advisor, Committee Chair, or Charter Rep for your unit you can access a link in your My Scouting account that will allow you to customize the pin on that map. You can include the address of where you meet (right now it is the address of your Charter Organization), the times, put in leader names and contact information, and you can even put in a paragraph with the date, time and location of your upcoming Join Night! Then, with contact information on the pin, you will get calls and emails directly, and from your My Scouting account you can monitor those! If you don't know how to set up a My Scouting Account, just call Rob at the Council office, 664-1444, and you will discover many other benefits to having an account!

JOURNEY TO EXCELLENCE..A RECIPE FOR UNIT SUCCESS! Journey To Excellence replaces the Quality Unit program from years past. But, yif you haven't taken a look at it, you will be pleasantly surprised by it! It is a common sense approach to the key factors for a successful unit, AND, they are achieveable so that all of your Pack, Troop, or Crew can earn attractive patches for your uniform! If you think of Scouting as a great tasting pizza, then think of the Journey To Excellence (JTE) as the proven recipe! Has your pizza started to taste bland? Then refresh your memory with the recipe and see if more fun doesn't come back!
