Long Cane District

        29         District Commissioner Meeting

        29         District Committee Meeting

This is a reminder to all youth, parents, unit leaders, and chartering organizations.  All of Long Cane’s Scouting units have a Recharter kit that should be completed and turned in by our February Roundtable Meeting. NO LATER PLEASE! Units benefit by Rechartering on time; each unit that Recharters on time will meet one of the requirements for Quality Unit and Gold Star Unit.  Gold Star Units reap the benefit of receiving all cloth advancements for free for one year.  This results in substantial monetary savings for units that fall under this honorable classification.  Parents and leaders, please help your Scouting Unit with this year’s recharter by getting your registration fee in on time.

Our Friends of Scouting Campaign is underway again.  Please help support our district by participating in this campaign.  The Family Friends of Scouting Campaign is a tremendous opportunity for all of us involved in Scouting to help financially support Scouting in our community for another year.  In 2009, ninety eight percent of Long Cane’s Scouting Units received some sort of financial support, whether for youth registration fees, adult registration fees, charter fees, books, uniforms, Day Camp Scholarships, Cub Scout Resident Camp Scholarships, Boy Scout Summer Camp Scholarships, advancement patches, pins, Spring and Fall Camporee Scholarships, Pinewood Derby Scholarships, etc. Parents and unit leaders, please help support our 2010 Family Friends of Scouting campaign by considering your financial support for Scouting efforts.
