Good day and welcome to our January 11th Monday Memo
Training District Volunteers is an Important Responsibility of our Council
The District Committee Training Workshop meets the basic training need of members of the district committee.
Workshop objectives
As a result of completing the District Committee Training Workshop, participants will be able to:
- Define the four functions of district operation and list all the positions and structures of the district that carry out each of the four functions. List four tasks accomplished under each of the four functions.
- Identify the major tasks of their specific committee or district assignment and define the ways each task might be accomplished.
- Review a list of 12 responsibilities and correctly label each and assign to either the district chairman, district commissioner or the district executive.
- Tell why their particular assignment is essential to district operation.
- Name three other positions or committees of the district that they might need to talk with to carry out their assignment in their district.
Please register for this training today!

2009 Varsity Turkey Shoot
The annual Varsity Turkey Shoot was held November 6 & 7, 2009 at Camp Emerson. About 20 Scouts attended. They carried telephone poles, dug holes about 5-6 feet deep for them, and put them in the holes upright, so that we could use them to start building the west wall of the Bear Trap Creek Mountain Man Rendezvous fort. We also placed several fletches on the northwestern and southwestern halves of the fort and hauled off a truckload or two of scrap lumber. Many of the fletches had been used as lean-to shelters before they were gathered up and nailed to the fort walls. Many fletches, many uses.
After the high adventure work party was over, the high adventure Turkey Shoot began. We threw hawks and knives, and shot arrows and black powder rifles. The scouts were each given Turkey Shoot patches and fast food restaurant gift cards.
Launch of BSA Motorsports
Corporate Alliances and the BSA Marketing Group are excited to announce the launch of BSA Motorsports. This program will begin its national inaugural season in March 2010 with the unveiling of the Boy Scouts of America's No. 19 entry into the IZOD IndyCar Series. The open-wheel series features the most technologically sophisticated race cars in our nation, and teaming with Dale Coyne Racing (DCR) will provide an unparalleled opportunity for Scouting youths, volunteers, and councils to leverage this exciting and highly marketable platform.
By utilizing the excitement and high-tech nature of Indy-style racing cars as a platform to promote science, technology, and math to those involved in Scouting, this multiyear program will be foundational to reaching America's youths in 2010. Through this exposure, our goal is to increase youth interest in the concepts of engineering and math in ways that are fun and relevant to them.
The Boy Scouts of America's No. 19 IndyCar entry will compete in the 17-race 2010 IZOD IndyCar Series schedule. Local Boy Scout members and volunteers will participate in exciting activities at the track and have other unique opportunities at all races. The team will appear at Scouting events, including the 2010 National Scout Jamboree.

To help celebrate the Boy Scouts of America?s Centennial Anniversary Year, the first ever National Venturing Event will be taking place during 2010. A large council has been approved to sponsor this historic event. The staff for this event has chosen to use the internet as the first source of information release.
