Day Camp is happening and we apologize for any confusion this may have caused.
Gina Tisdale will be the Day Camp Director with the help of Program Director, Andrew Barron and they encourage you to sign up as soon as possible since this is being organized in the next couple of weeks and we need signs ups in order to finalize planning. You will also save on Early Bird fee if you sign up by May 31st so check out the registration link below. We are only taking online registrations but if you prefer to register in person, Gina or Andrew might be available at the June Picnic roundtable. Please contact Gina directly to make arrangements if needed. You can find her email id on the registration site as well.
Per Gina and Andrew, your help is important to have a successful Day Camp. She is taking adults and den chiefs to help with activities, to supervise youth, crafts, set up and more. If you cannot help the whole week, you can help part day of just a couple of days but please reach out to Gina soon.
Thank you for rechartering on time and ensuring you have the leaders to make it happen!
Some of you were notified during the recharter process about direct contact leaders in your unit not trained and were given until the end of March to fulfill that requirement if they were staying on. However, some chose to replace untrained leaders with others that met the requirement until the other potential leaders completed their training. Please remember that we would like all leaders to be trained but at the very minimum, we are asking that all CM, ACM,SM, ASM and Den Leaders complete their training. I understand our council doesnt offer as many outdoor trainings as we would like or even the courses that could be taken online but there are also other councils that might have what you are looking for. We want to make sure our youth receive the best instruction possible and it all starts with training! Note that this is part of your Journey to Excellence and it affects our overall district JTE so lets work together to make it happen.
Please reply back if your leaders are now trained so I can double check the system . Those of you who switched your leaders until training was completed from the ones that were initially listed, let me know if we should make that change so everyone is carrying the right positions.
I have included the link below with the requirements by program so you can share with unit unit leadership.
