The Howler

Welcome all. We are very excited to start another scouting year, and hope all of you are just as excited as we are. It is great to see new faces as well as returning ones. We are trying to be very organized this year and get you all the information you need way before you need it. Please don’t hesitate to ask questions, any one of the leadership team would be happy to answer your question or direct you to someone who can. We are also happy to just talk more about our plans for what this year will look like and what you can expect.

Wood Badge Training for this Fall

We’ve had a great year. There are a number of training opportunities coming up to help improve our skills and program. The forms are attached.  The group will cover the registration cost for members of the group.

Part 1 – This initial training addresses basic program planning, the badge system, policy, and using the outdoors. This is also a great opportunity to network with other leaders to get ideas and and hatch plans for shared events.

Part 2 – This is more advanced training intended to go into much further depth on program planning and outdoor skills. Like the part 1, this is a great opportunity to meet other leaders and network. Unlike the part 1, we’ll be camping the whole time and will have more time to experiment with program ideas. You must have your part 1 and at least a year of group experience before you can take your part 2.
