Troop 4 Grapevine, Texas   Troop 4 gratefully acknowledges the contributions of its Adult Leaders who make our activities possible.

June 21, 2010
 
Everyone,

I haven't sent out an email message in a while, so I thought it was time.

Thanks to all that went on the ZIP Line outing. It was a lot of fun. Ms. Shirley sent a nice letter saying how well behaved you guys were and how impressed she was that you paid attention during ground school. They said they would love to have us come again. The troop leaders really enjoy hearing that about you guys and we are proud of you. I am also proud of you for participating. I know that first step is the hardest, but you guys stepped up and got on the course. We will work on getting pictures posted to Flickr as soon as we can.

Tonight's meeting is Astronomy, part 2. I wasn't there last week but I am assuming it went well. If you missed last week, you should be able to get started tonight. Next week's meeting is a PLC for all you leaders.

On June 1st, National changed the Youth Protection Policy for adults. You can read about the changes here. The main points are that new leaders have to complete Youth Protection before they submit their application and that everyone must be current or they will not be rechartered. Please take the time to make sure you are current this summer so we don't have to worry about it in the fall. Please follow this link to the My Scouting page. Here you can create an account if you don't already have one and take the free course. It hasn't changed much in a while and still only takes about 30 minutes to complete. If you already have an account, you can view your certificate if you are current. If you are over half way to expiration, please run through it again. Once done, please send me a PDF of your certificate or a screen shot. There are other training courses available and I would recommend that the Scoutmaster corps take a look at some of the others. This new policy applies to all adult leaders but merit badge counselors also need to be current.

THANKS!
