A note for Cub Scout Unit Leaders (and Parents who might be your "go to" leaders for Weekend Camping): the B.S.A. requires that if a Cub Scout Pack goes camping, at least one attending leader must have completed "Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation" or "BALOO" (and, yes, there is other training that must be taken, like Youth Protection and Weather Hazards, but those can be done "on line" -- more information, and links to get it done, is in our Leader Training Page).  Now, the Council has a course this Saturday, March 6, but if you can't go then, don't worry: there are BALOO courses every weekend this March.  See the Council Training Calendar for the courses and dates and contact information for how to sign up.  One special plug from the District Cub Leader Trainer: the Soapstone Ridge BALOO Weekend March 12-14 (yes, they make it a weekend, on the (good) theory that you gotta get out there and do it to go lead others) is highly recommended (Vinny Ferguson, Lester Harris, Audry Bagby and the rest of their team are first rate).

Camp O Ree Update:  for Boy Scout Troops, Spring Camp O Ree Plansare evolving:  Date is set for April 9-11.  Click here to sign up (scroll to find your name and note how many you think are attending; yes, in this Website, you're listed as a "Scout" -- if your Troop won't attend, just enter "1" and add a comment that you "can't go"), and Look here to see who is going as signups get underway. 

The next date for Cub Leader Position Specific Training is Saturday, March 20, 9:30-2:30 (come at 9:15 for Coffee and Chik fil A Biscuits), subject to sufficient numbers signing up in advance so that we have a large enough den and copies of materials for the group signed up.  More detail is in the Calendar Entry. To sign up: either (1) Email cubleadertraining@southfultonscouting.com or (2) sign up in the Calendar Entry Signup (yeah, in that "Register", you're a "Scout" and need to "scroll down" the Scout list to find your name) or (3) (and use this if you don't find your name) sign up in this Cub Training Signup Survey to reserve a spot. You must sign up in advance to reserve a spot (and if you know of someone who will attend or should attend, shoot the contact information to cubleadertraining@southfultonscouting.com).

As you get Packs organized or re-organized for the coming year, please encourage as many leaders as possible to attend -- we guarantee that this will be a helpful program.

You are invited to attend the South Fulton District Leaders Recogntion Banquet on Saturday February 27, 6:00 p.m. at Cliftondale UMC Church, 4095 Stonewall Tell Road.  Please sign up to attend (yes, in the signup Register, you are a "Scout"; add the numbers of others who you know are attending too).  The District Banquet is an event where adult volunteers are recognized.  More in the Calendar Entry.
