10/12 Boy Scout Leadership Classroom Training @ Eden Church

Sharing the below information from Steve Kupsky, Unit Commissioner…

As you know, several adults on our charter have completed their required
position specific training, but this is also for adults interested in
moving into new leadership roles. Also, the IOLS note below and on the
GSLAC website is for SMs and ASMs only (not CORs or committee members who
are not also interested in providing onsite leadership at troop outdoor
events). Please let me know if you want to discuss.

Boy Scout New Leader Training

This comprehensive basic training is the very best way for all Adult
Leaders and Parents to be trained for their current and future Troop
positions, to gain a thorough basic understanding of how the Scouting
Program works, to learn ways to apply this in their home units to help
their Scouts run a successful troop program, and to obtain references and
resources available for further knowledge. Training for SM/ASM Position
Specific, Troop Committee, and Chartered Organization Representative (COR)
classroom training.

To be officially “trained” and wear the “Trained” patch on your uniform,
you must complete the training course for your specific
position AND Introduction to Outdoor Skills (IOLS).

Pre-registration is REQUIRED for all training.

8/19 Mountain Biking; 8/23-25 Camp Warren Levis with option to canoe; and Sept/Oct activities preview

Our Scouts have an opportunity to do mountain biking on SIUE trails Monday
August 19 at *6 PM*, at no cost, courtesy of the local business, Bike
Surgeon. They will provide instruction and some bikes but if anyone has
their own mountain bike to bring, that would be helpful in allowing more
Scouts to participate. They recommend bringing a helmet, full water
bottle, and headlamp. We will take a rough headcount of those interested at
our next meeting Monday evening, including adults that are able to provide
supervision.

We have scheduled camping with an option to canoe at Camp Warren Levis
August 23-25. Scouts must have passed a swim test in order to be on the
water in a canoe. At least two adults canoeing need to be current in the
BSA online training of Safe Swim Defense and Safety Afloat. The permission
form is attached and should be printed out, completed and turned in by your
Scout no later than 7:30 pm August 19.

Scouts have proposed a Family Camp in September (TBD) and plan to attend
the annual Rendezvous and Encampment at Camp Warren Levis October 4-6.

Mr. Gill will be on travel and unable to participate in the August biking
and camping. He thanks those adults volunteering to serve as leaders in his
absence.
