Join with your fellow Scouters as the new program year kicks into high gear. Our main focus this month will be Webelos Woods ! Boy Scout Troops should send their Webelos recruiting chairs, and Cub Scout Packs should send their Webelos Leaders to get the latest information. We'll see you there!

Come on-time or late, stay as long as you want, but drop in and visit with your fellow Cubmasters and Cub Scout leaders. All are welcome the last Friday morning of every month for a Cub-focused gathering to address whatever you want to talk about!

The Boy Scouts of America is opening the opportunity for young women to learn the leadership skills, experience the outdoor fun, and earn the prestigious awards recognized by colleges and employers nationwide that have previously only been available to young men. If you and your daughter are interested in learning more about joining the Scouts BSA program in February 2019, please attend a special informational session from 3:00pm-5:00pm on Saturday, October 27, at Westlake Hills Presbyterian Church. For more information, please contact Mike Hanley at mike.hanley@scouting.org.

Earlier this year, a new, improved Youth Protection Training course was released. Also known as YPT2, this new training replaces all previous versions and all registered leaders must take it on or before September 30, 2018 . If your last YPT course was completed before February 2018, you cannot be registered as a leader at recharter time. PLEASE take the course now and help keep Scouting safe for our youth!

Cub Scout Leaders: be sure all your Webelos Scouts and parents have this date penciled in on their calendar. This annual event is the easiest way for all our Webelos Scouts to check out the Boy Scout Troops in our District in one Scoutcraft-filled event! It's time to find out what youth-led adventure really means for the boys, and for Webelos parents to hobnob, nosh and visit with Troop leadership to help their child find the "right" Troop for them!

Online registration opens soon!
