North Star District Newsletter - June 2023

There is no teaching to compare with example. - Lord Baden-Powell

Here's to a great summer- whether you're spending it at summer camp, lounging by a pool or just getting caught up on your "one hour a week".

Please remember that there is no Roundtable in July and we have a new location starting in August!

Roundtable is Moving!

Beginning in AUGUST 2023, Roundtable will take place at Benson Memorial United Methodist Church, 4706 Creedmoor Road, Raleigh NC 27612.

We are very grateful to St. Andrews Presbyterian for hosting our monthly events the past 2 years. And thank you to Benson Memorial United Methodist Church for opening your doors to us!

Volunteer Leader Highlight

Congrats to Laurence Virden!

Every month, we aim to celebrate a leader or unit on a job well done. This month, we want to congratulate Laurence Virden, Cubmaster for Pack 522 in Zebulon. Along with awards he has received as a former Den Leader and Commissioner, he was most recently presented the Unit Leader Award of Merit (2022) and his first BSA Veteran award for 5 years (2023). In addition, he has earned his Cubmaster Key!

Thank you Laurence for making a difference in the lives of our youth and adults in Scouting!
