Did you miss the online recharter training? We still want you to know what to do. Here are the slides (PPT or PDF) from the training and the quality review checklist.

Troop, Team, and Crew leaders: Would you like to reinforce your Troop Leader Training with hands on and boy taught leadership and patrol method principles? We have a training for you! From 7 am to 6 pm on Saturday, February, 27th right here in McKinney, Lone Star District will be hosting “Oak Leaf Training”. Your First Class and higher boys and youth leaders would benefit from it! Sign up and get details here.

Does your pack camp or are you a Webelos leader wanting to be fully trained?  Then you need to take our upcoming BALOO or OWL training being held Saturday, February 13th at 8 am.  BALOO is Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation and must be taken by someone for a pack to be able to go camping.  OWL is Outdoor training for Webelos Leaders and helps them not only to do den camping but to teach outdoor type activity badges.  Sign up and get more details here.

Now is the time when each troop and team should host elections for youth (First Class or higher) and adults (1 for each 50 boys) from their units who exemplify the scouting ideals and meet the camping requirement.  Let Ty Hardin  (cjhardin@att.net our Vice Chief of Inductions), or his adviser, Bob Gates (972-678-1221, gates.rr@grandecom.net) know when they can come hold elections with your unit.

Its time to start thinking about Scouting For Food!
Bag drop off is Feb 13th and pick up is Feb 20th.
See details here and our fact sheet here.

It is time, between now and March 4th, to start registering our boys and Packs for Twilight Camp.  Some of the sign up will be online this year!  Sign up and get more details here.

We are also meeting at 6:45 pm before roundtable to plan twilight camp on Thursday, Feb 4th.  We would like Pack Coordinators and available Pack Leaders and interrested volunteers to come and give your input.  See you there at the nortwest room of the building we hold roundtable in.
