The Scouts have the upcoming events to consider.
Rechartering has started. Contact the District Executive if your unit has not received it's packet yet. Packets are due December 1st. Wood Badge is going on during the 13-15 Oct and 20-22 Oct. OLS is available to be attended 28-29 Oct. Leader Specific Training will be on Nov 12 in Twin Falls or Nov 19 by the Oakley Zone. Merit Badge Pow Wow in Oakley Stake on Oct 15 and 29. The subject today was Parental involvement in Scouting. A Scouts success sometimes is relative to how involved their parents are. You can get parents involved as Committee members that assist scouts or are alternate adult leaders they can talk too. Parents can also be involved in other ways by coming to Scout meetings and attending Scout Campouts. Parents are the ones that scouts go home to and are those that encourage their scouts to go after merit badges and other scouting activities. Parental involvement can be the determining factor whether a boy goes home and forgets what he needs to do for his next scout meeting, or the encouragement he needs to go above and beyond. Ultimately each unit decides how much parental involvement they want, but parents can be a great way to help each and every scout succeed!
