The Spring Camporee Patch

The Camporee was lots of fun for the Scouts this weekend despite some wet weather. Scouts led the events and a great display of team building and working as a Patrol was seen in every area. Congratulations to all those that made this a success!
There is no Camporee planned for the Fall of 2009, instead we would like to encourage all Troops to participate in the Webelos-Ree on October 24-25, 2009. DETAILS TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON.

New Youth Protection Training (YPT) Policy
The following information concerning an upcoming change affecting the BSA National policy on Youth Protection Training (YPT) was disseminated at the last ACC Meeting with the Council Commissioner. This information was disclosed at the BSA National Annual Meeting in May 2008.
Effective 01 January 2009:
- Scouters will be required to take Youth Protection Training every two years. In the past, it was recommended that Scouters re-take the YPT every two years, this change will make it mandatory.
- Someone on the Tour Permit must have taken YPT within the last two years. Current policy only requires that someone have taken YPT at some point.
