MEMBERSHIP - WE NEED YOUR HELP

By Steven Davis 
Council Membership Chair




We grew in 2016! If you haven't heard, 2016 was the first time in several years that we grew in overall membership in the Mount Baker Council. And it was the first time in 7 years that we increased the number of Cub Scouts we serve. Thank you to everyone who helped make that happen!

  



2017 SNOHOMISH COUNTY GOOD SCOUT BREAKFAST

Keynote Speaker - Bran Tilden, CEO of Alaska Airlines

Brad Tilden serves as the Chairman and CEO of Alaska Air Group, which oversees Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air. A Seattle native, Tilden grew up a few miles from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, where he developed an early love of aviation. He often rode his bike to the airport to watch Alaska jets take off and land.

THE PROPERTIES REPORT

By Properties Vice President Scott Suchan


Have you ever wondered how the Council Properties Committee has funded all the projects that have been completed to date? It really starts with keeping the projects affordable right from the planning stage. We try to keep the projects highly functional and durable, but still simple in design.

PLANNING TO FULFILL THE PROMISE
 
By Council Camping Chair Rich Mueller 


Young people join a pack, troop, crew or ship because Scouting provides the excitement and adventure of camping or sailing in the great outdoors. They want to share that excitement with friends. In order to have the best outdoor program possible in your unit, it takes plenty of planning. But what tools does the BSA provide to help make well-planned programs a reality
  





WINTER CAMPING SEMINAR


Come spend an exciting and memorable weekend in the snow with us!  Learn how to build an igloo and stay warm! Learn to identify dangerous avalanche conditions and how to avoid them.  Learn basic winter survival skills and first aid.  The seminar addresses all aspects of winter camping and outdoor travel in a condensed class room session that assumes basic backpacking knowledge and builds on that for a fun and safe experience in the winter.
