Big changes in 2010

Isn't it amazing how time flies? The last time this site was updated was in October of 2008. Since then the group has undergone some changes. We have a new Group Commissioner, new leaders in each section and a whole new group committee to welcome. As well this blog has a new webmaster. He'll be keeping things up-to-date and in ship-shape in no time.

A new year of Scouting has begun with some changes from National as well. We will no longer be "creating a better world", instead "it starts with Scouts" is our new catch phrase. For many it began in Beavers, but the whole organization started with Scouts and it is the Scouts out in our communities that many see first.

The national Scout Popcorn Campaign has begun as well. There have been many changes to the line-up this year. Trail-mix and kettle corn are out. Chocolate is back (YAY!) and the packages have gotten bigger but also have healthier stuff in them.

As always we are hoping this will become a site for parents to check the schedule they misplaced or find out about up-coming events. Don't forget you are always welcome to attend the group committee meetings. The next will be on October the 5th in the office at the Lion's Campground at 7:30. If this should change for any reason it will be updated here.

I am looking forward to getting to know our new families this year and catching up with our returning families. I hope everyone has had a good summer is ready for the new adventure to begin!
