We know many families can't be together this July 4th, and due to the pandemic many people have not been able to prepare for the celebration. Especially those individuals with autoimmune diseases or the elderly. We had to celebrate Memorial Day virtually and during these times it is important that we come together and show our love for this country by displaying a flag on Independence Day! That is why our council is offering American flags (different sizes available) to anyone who wants them. Reach out to your community through social media (NextDoor, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) and ask who would like one and how to get it to them. Reach out to care homes in the area and ask how many they would like or if you can set up a table outside. Reach out to veteran associations or military organizations in your area and help them celebrate this year! We need your unit's help to provide these flags to everyone who wants them! If your pack or troop wants to participate please reach out to Todd McGee tpmcgee@mac.com who can schedule a time for you to pick up any flags you need to make this possible! Think how amazing it will be to see every house and business displaying a flag this July 4th!  

Every unit that meets their Friends of Scouting goal will be recognized as a Pacific Skyline Council Honor Unit and will receive two free nights of Camping at either Cutter Scout Reservation or Boulder Creek Scout Reservation! Your unit has until June 30 to qualify for free camping nights, so now is a great time to show your support for Scouting by clicking here! The following units have achieved their goal so far: 

Trail's End is developing a sales plan to work with current social distancing rules. They are working on a new direct-to-consumer model, making Trail's End fundraising a safer way to fundraise for your unit. Popcorn sales are critical to funding Scouting in our community. Funds raised by popcorn sales not only support your unit, but also go to support our Council's Scoutreach programs, camp maintenance and improvements. If you haven't sold popcorn recently, give Trail's End a try this year. Sign your unit up now!

Ohlone Lodge is continuing with virtual Unit Visitations and Elections. Scheduling can be done through our election request form. For questions, please contact our Vice Chief of Inductions at vci@ohone63.org. The Spring Ordeal has been canceled. Elected candidates now have 24 months from the date of their election to attend their Ordeal and become a member. The next Ordeal will be Sep 18-20 at Cutter Scout Reservation.
