SR-741

[SueM 10]

I thought I'd take the opportunity to mention that SR-741 (Colonial Virginia Coucil) will be held from Sept. 8-10th and Sept.30-Oct 2nd, if anyone in the SE Virginia area is looking for a Wood Badge Course opportunity. The first weekend will be held in Smithfield and the second at our brand new council camp at Bayport.

 

You can contact me privately if you'd like further information.

Madam Eager Beaver,

 

Let me guess. You've been recruited as a TG for the next cycle?

 

That said, to all, if you have the chance, take WB. Your Scouting network will grow. As adults, we need relationships and reinforcement almost as much as the youth of our programs.

 

Besides, it's FUN!

How'd you Guess?? However, I'd probably be doing the same thing even if I wasn't because I understand the impact that it can have on not only the troops and packs connected with the participants, but on the participants themselves. Out of the 13 particpants that were in the recent BLT I was on staff at, at least 5 of those have already sent in their request for info..one is paid in full and another has put a deposit. I've got 2 of my ASM's also interested too..If the course doesn't fill, it certainly won't be because I didn't try to recruit!!

 

Now..where was that tasty tree again...
