We are proud to announce that Christine Castello has agreed to become our new Scoutmaster.   

Special Meeting:

We are asking at least one Parent for each scout to attend a special PARENTS ONLY meeting on Wednesday, September 15 at 8:30 PM in the Church Hall.   (Sorry,  No Scouts, this meeting is for the Parents only)

 With Christine’s appointment, we are also formalizing the distribution of “jobs” and responsibilities that were formerly  handled mostly be the Scoutmaster.  This is intended to spread the efforts,  Encourage more diverse and enriched thinking, and to allow the Scoutmaster to concentrate on working with our Youth Leadership, without the distraction of the myriad administrative and communications responsibilities.  The idea is that the meetings and activities will be totally concentrated around the boys and we (other Adults Leaders and Parents) will take on roles that we can totally handle and thus free up the Scoutmaster.

 

The FIRST SCOUT MEETING will be held in the Church Hall on Friday, September 17 (Time TBD)

 

 

WELCOME BACK From YAWGOOG!     Everyone had a great time!
