Pomo District Chair Update

Hello Scouts and Scouting families-

As I write this, I am literally enjoying all that Scouting has to offer.  I am with Scouts and Scouters sitting around a glowing campfire.

Because the weather has turned, it is easy to seek shelter and warmth.  However, the entire Scouting program is built around being outside.  All Units should build as much of the program as possible around the outdoors.  Plan camping trips.  Take hikes.  Perform community service.  Yes, even in December, January, and February!

We are blessed to live close to so many great places for Scouts to explore.  Boy Scout Troops should conduct nine camping trips each year. Cub Scout Packs should conduct at least one camping trip each year.  I challenge you to ensure that your Scouts have these opportunities each year.

The end of 2014 is almost here.  No matter how you celebrate this time of year, I wish you the best!  Please be safe and make time to get outdoors.
