Leatherstocking Council's Powderhorn District is opening their online charity auction this FRIDAY! 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 here 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!

Join us to celebrate 100 years of Camp Kingsley during our fall camporee. From September 24th through the 26th, Camp Kingsley will host this year's fall camporee while also celebrating Camp Kingsley's 100th year of operation. Activities will include a Scouting history area, a time walk trail, activities from various Scouting eras and more. Registration is now open at the link below. SIGN UP TODAY!

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.

The Atwell Fish and Game Club will be sponsoring two youths to attend one of the Adirondack DEC summer Camps next year. Please have any interested Scouts send in a one page application stating a little about themselves, their reason for wanting to attend, and a little bit about their Scouting experience. Please send your application in by October 15 to leatherstocking@scouting.org Winners will be notified within a couple of weeks and registration must be completed with NYS on January 1.

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!
