Promote your unit at the Boothbay Harbor 2009 Gingerbread Spectacular

Submitted by Devon.Hubner on Thu, 11/12/2009 - 11:35
Does your unit live in the Boothbay Harbor region? A great opportunity for advertising and promoting your Scouting unit exists at the Boothbay Harbor Opera House in December. Organize a gingerbread house making event with your Pack, Troop, Crew, or Sea Scout ship, then display those gingerbread houses at the Gingerbread Spectacular. Remember that during the holidays people travel to other towns to participate in their holiday events. Units in Bath, Woolwich, Wiscasset, Damariscotta, Edgecomb, Boothbay Harbor, and Southport should all be participating in this opportunity! Not From Boothbay Harbor? Find similar events in your own towns!

Secrets of Successful Webelos Leaders

Purpose of Webelos

Webelos Scouts begin to learn about camping, learn outdoor and other skills, and learn about Boy Scout troops. A key goal is to graduate Webelos Scouts into a Boy Scout troop, yet over half of all Webelos never go on into Boy Scouting. But your den can beat this average (and have fun doing it)!

Did your unit earn the Summertime Pack Award ?

Submitted by Devon.Hubner on Tue, 10/13/2009 - 00:58

 

You can earn a different pin for each year of summertime scouting (Tiger-Webelos) that you complete!

 

The requirements are simple! As a den or pack, hold an activity in June, July, and August. You may have earned the award without even knowing it!

 

And if you didn't earn the award this year, then you should be planning on how to get it next year...
