Spring Camporee – changed

January 9, 2016 - News

The Talakto District and the Order of the Arrow are teaming up to bring you the 2016 Spring camporee. The date has been changed to April 8-10, 2016. The location has been changed to Sharon Johnston Park. The details of activities are still being worked out but here are a few notes:

The Order of the Arrow will be providing leadership for the event.
The Saturday night campfire will include an Order of the Arrow Call-out ceremony. Ensure your unit has completed its elections before the event. Contact the OA Chapter Chief for more details.
The activities will be aimed at both Boy Scouts and Venturers (and Explorers). The Venturers and Explorers may participate in events or may lead events.

EVERY SCOUT DESERVES A TRAINED LEADER

The summer and fall are a great time to get trained. Maybe your unit is not meeting as often or is gone at camp or a high adventure event. So you have some time to invest in getting better at delivering the promise of Scouting. Training will help you be better and make the work easier to accomplish. Let's do it!

Here are some ideas for upgrading your training:
>> Youth Protection (update every two years)
>> First Aid, CPR, AED training (update every two years)
>> Leader Specific Training (Take it when you get a new Scouting job, and re-take it every few years. There are always new ideas.)

Depending on what your unit does in Scouting, you might look into:
>> Physical Wellness
>> Weather Smart
>> Safe Swim Defense
>> Safety Afloat
>> Powder Horn
