DelMarVa Mandates Training!
To All Unit Leaders,

Did you know that only 43% of Cecil Webelos leaders are trained in their position? Furthermore, did you know that only 25% of Assistant Scoutmasters and 47% of Scoutmasters are considered trained in Cecil County? If you are an untrained Webelos or Boy Scout leader, please attend one of the training courses noted below.

For Webelos leaders:
Webelos leader training will be held at Roundtable on May 14th, 7 PM, North East United Methodist Church.

For Boy Scout Leaders (Scoutmasters/Assistant Scoutmasters):
Attend an all-day training session to be held on Saturday, June 23, 9 AM - 4 PM. Location to be determined.

Mark your calendars!!

Every Scout deserves a trained leader... and training is now MANDATORY in DelMarVa Council!

Venture Adult Leader Training
Dec 1, 2007
1616 Carpenter Point Road,
Perryville, MD 21903

I will be holding Venture Adult Leader Training at my house in Perryville on December 1, 2007. The address is 1616 Carpenter Point Road, Perryville, MD 21903 (easily MapQuest-able or for the more traditional, an actual paper map will work too).

The training will begin at 10:00am and will be over by 3:00pm. Bring your lunch, I will provide sodas.

If you plan on attending, please send an email to Luke.Yackley@va.gov so I can get an idea of how many are coming. There will be no cost, but I still need to know so that I will have enough material for everyone.

Charter turn-in date is the very next weekend so this is your last chance to get trained; a requirement for all main leaders of each unit.

If you know other folks who need/want the training pass this message along to them. I just need to know the count.

Hope to see you Saturday,
Luke
