IMPORTANT AKELA DISTRICT INFORMATION

Akela District Scout Leaders:

There are several very important reasons to attend the Round Table this Thursday (Dec 9th)..
  • Popcorn Money will be due. Please arrive a few minutes early if you plan to pay that night. You may also turn in your check at the council office prior to December 9th.
  • We will be showing the Youth Protection Training course on DVD.All direct contact leaders are required to have this in 2011 and new units or units who miss their charter and must recharter after the due date will be required to have EVERYONE take YPT, even Charter Partner Representatives and other indirect youth contact leaders. So this RT will be a great opportunity to get many people trained at one time and avoid any problems with future recharters.
  • Unit Award forms, Leader Knot Award Forms and Quality Unit Forms will be due December 9th (at the Roundtable meeting). All the Awards submission forms should be available on the Old North State website Forms will also be available at the Roundtable.If you have questions about awards, please ask your 2010 Training and Recognition Chair, Larry Warlick, lwarlick@northstate.net.

  •  Scouts on Skis at Winterplace
