Leatherstocking Council's Powderhorn District has opened their online charity auction! With collectible Scouting items of all kinds, you will surely find a priceless piece of Scouting heritage that deserves to be yours. We are featuring everything from knives and patches to neckerchiefs and shirts. Please remember while you bid that all the money raised will directly support Scouting programs in Leatherstocking Council to better our kids’ tomorrow. So please bid on Scouting’s history generously to make for an even better Scouting future. Please share this with friends and family so no one misses out!

Registration starts at 8 AM with the first group off at 8:30. We will be using a staggered start, so come when you like. We believe that Lions and Tigers may want to hike one way, which is 1.9 miles while the older members may wish to go round trip. The choice is yours. Picnic facilities, if you would like to have a meal at the event, tables are plentiful at the Fort and are limited at the canal lock, however there is plenty of lawn. If you plan a one-way hike, please only move one car to the lock to ferry drivers back to the Fort. There are only 10 regular parking spots and 2 handicap ones.

Questions should be directed to your Pack’s leadership or to Richard Prenot, event chair, at richard.prenot@gmail.com or text/phone to 845-337-0670

Scouting Units can contact our Camp Ranger to find out how they can work on camp projects to receive a free night at camp. Call Camp ranger for more details.

Soon the season will be spooky and Camp Kingsley will be a little more kooky and while the witches take flight you may be in for a good camp fright. The Fall Family Camp Spook-tober Fest is near so make sure you don’t miss out and sign up right HERE.

Didn't want to leave camp? Yeah, we never enjoy leaving camp either, but did you know that you can come back! Both Henderson Scout Reservation and Camp Kingsley are beautiful in the fall and have facilities and sites that can be rented out. So start planning your next autumn adventure by booking a trip to one of our amazing camps!

National has released new information about the recharter process (see below). We welcome and encourage all of our units to register and participate in the recharter webinar (registration link below) that is occurring on September 28th. We have also updated our rechater webpage with this information as well at... https://www.leatherstockingcouncil.org/charterrenewal

National Announcement:

Internet Recharter 2.0 is scheduled to release on October 15th for all units to submit their renewals online. We have created an FAQ, along with an Internet Recharter User Guide, to give you the opportunity to review the new platform and provide the necessary tools to your council staff when supporting the volunteers with submitting their Internet Charter Renewal. An instructional video walking the viewer through each step of the new Internet Recharter 2.0 experience will be coming soon.  

On September 22, 2021, a Sandbox environment will be opened for units to begin training on the new system. This sandbox, available at https://advancementspp.scouting.org, will allow the unit to “test” the recharter process before actually committing the actions permanently in the new recharter system beginning on October 15, 2021. To access, units will enter their same usernames they would normally use to access Scoutbook.com or My.Scouting, except a new, generic password will be used to access the sandbox system. That password will be circulated once the sandbox environment is ready

Volunteer: September 28th at 8pm Central - Register: https://scouting-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_6Xphbn0QR4a40KgCZEfR6A
