Day Camp
Reminder for Parents and Leaders: There is a Day Camp meeting on Sunday, July 23rd at 4pm at the Cary Camp Dining Hall. This will be an opportunity to review the week's schedule, meet the other parents who will be at camp this year, get your camp shirts, make sure everyone is paid, and handle all check-in items prior to the start of day camp! Your attendance at this is greatly appreciated, as it will help make the program run more smoothly the week of Day Camp!
Recruitment
August 24th Cub Scout Sign Up Night Preparation: Cub Leaders, this year's fall recruiting night will be in the same format as last year, the one night sign up night throughout the District. As we look forward to this on Thursday August 24th, we ask that you and your committees put together the following materials over the summer for incoming Scouts and parents:
- Pack Contact Sheet
- Pack Calendar
- Give an outline of the cost for an ideal year of Scouting
- Plan a Parent Orientation Meeting following the sign up night to better share the program and your Pack expectations.
If you have any questions about how or why to put any of these materials together, contact Dylan. Please send this information to Dylan as well so that throughout the year when new Scouts and their parents ask him questions about your Pack, he will be able to answer them. His email is
Dylan.Melling@Scouting.org
Eagle Boards
Due to the first Tuesday being on the 4th of July, there will not be an Eagle Board of Review in July. All candidates who wish to go through the August BOR must have their entire packet approved by Laura Stanifer by July 24th at 5pm. If a candidate's Eagle Packet is not fully complete and approved by the 24th at 5pm, the candidate may be scheduled for September.

PESHEWA ANNOUNCEMENTS
Peshewa District
serves the following counties: Blackford, Grant, Howard, Miami and Wabash
Recruitment Night
In case you missed membership kickoff at our last roundtable, we are asking all Cub Packs to start planning for the council wide recruitment night on August 24th. Every pack will recruit from their local elementary school, and some packs will have more than one school from which to recruit. The district membership team will be making calls over the next couple of weeks to find out who your membership coordinator is for each school your unit is recruiting from. Supplies for recruitment night will be handed out at the August roundtable and we would like to remind all units that applications are expected to be turned in at the local dropoff point the night of August 24th after the recruitment.
District Roundtable
The next District roundtable is set for July 19th at the Howard 4H fairgrounds in Greentown. The meeting will run from 7pm to 8pm and will be a good opportunity to get unit leaders trained and discuss best practices with fellow Scouters. We look forward to seeing you there.
