The deadline to turn in your Unit Recharter Report was November 30. If you missed that date, please contact your unit commissioner to schedule a review of your materials and turn it in ASAP.

Join us for our great night of Scouting at Westlake Hills Presbyterian Church (7127 Bee Caves Road). Fellowship begins at 6:45 PM, and our program starts at 7:00 PM sharp, and ends by 8:00 PM.

We'll have a special joint session this month, because it's our Social Media Extravaganza - be sure to bring your smartphones, tablets, or any other mobile device! We will have special youth guests on hand to show us how our members are actually using apps like Instagram, Snapchat, Tumblr and group chats. We'll also go over how to make a BSA-compatible Facebook page for your unit.

Stinger Award Nominees Still Needed

If you have not yet turned in your Pack, Troop, Crew, Team or Ship's nominees, please send them ASAP to Awards@BeeCaveDistrict.org . We want to make sure your unit is represented, and your wonderful leaders are recognized for their amazing hard work in service to our youth.

Every year, we complete a trip around the sun. Scouting volunteers, without always knowing it, make their packs and troops better every year and make another trip known as the Journey To Excellence. It does not matter if your unit is young or old, small or large. It is the quality of the overall program that counts. Your Commissioner wants to help your unit get recognized for your progress on that journey. Most units receive one of three levels: bronze, silver, or gold. Complete the score card to see where your unit qualifies for 2016 and everyone in your unit will receive a cool patch to wear on their right sleeve.

Webelos Winter Camp is a four day, three night camp for first and second year Webelos Scouts at Lost Pines Scout Resevation. Scouts will have an opportunity to work on advancements plus classic outdoor Scouting activities like star gazing, fishing, and hiking. Learn more and register.

If it's cool outside, it must be time to start thinking about the "hottest" ticket in town: the Bee Cave District Summer Day Camp at Castleton! This year's theme is Bug Hunters, and we'll have another amazing week full of water-covered, art-filled, craft-making adventure including sports, archery, science, BB guns, swimming, slingshots and more. This camp only works because of our volunteers, and every Pack needs to send an adult volunteer each day for every 4 Cub Scouts that attend. Juan Llerena (Camp Director) and Jillian Perkins (Program Director) need to fill two key positions right away: Camp Registrar, and Aquatics Director. Please contact them if you can volunteer, or know that one perfect person that can fill the bill. Attendance and registration details will be coming in January!
