It's Time for Recharter Kickoff! |
Dan Beard Council will host a national webinar recap and DBC-specific information kickoff on Thursday, October 14, 2021 at 7:00 PM. via Zoom. In preparation for the rechartering process, your unit should review your current leadership, specifically the key 3- Committee Chair, Chartered Organization Representative and unit leader (Cubmaster, Scoutmaster, Advisor, or Skipper), by checking the roster in my.scouting.org. If updates are needed, the Chartered Organization Representative will be able to make those changes.
This year, only registered members of the Key 3 and/or a Key 3 delegate will be able to access the online recharter system. You will be able to select any registered member of your unit to be a key 3 delegate, however, you will not be able to select an individual that is not a registered member of your unit.

Here's a local Eagle Scout Project Highlight from Zack B. of Troop 114 of the Hyde Park Community United Methodist Church! |
|
Zack’s project included 284 service hours which helped to create a space for Emmanuel's Bread volunteers to rest during harvest season; landscape, level and stain the existing signage for the Garden and provide a farmer's market cart to help them promote their organization. Emmanuel's Bread is a non-profit located in Crestline, Ohio, which provides fresh produce to under resourced families annually, throughout Crawford, Richland and Wyandot counties.
Zack says that scouting has helped him to grow as a person, friend and leader and has taught him the importance of having fun in the outdoors and serving others joyfully! Thank you Zack for your dedication to Scouting and your service to the community!
