Harvey is anxiously waiting for the arrival of our first scouts of the season!!

Troops will start checking in, so Harvey doesn't have to wait long...

That's a wrap! Staff development week is over. Our staff crew in SO many ways and they are delighted to see actual scouts tomorrow!

Even Harvey the therapy dog is excited. He is the counselor for the Dog Care merit badge this year. We think he'll do a good job...

The last full day of staff development... And full it was! Classes and setting up campsites and finishing program areas and swim checks and, and, and.....

Based on feedback last year the admin staff rolled out a new staff ceremony/challenge that was well received. Almost as well received as the ice cream cracker barrel afterwards!

Our staff is great, ready to go, and anxious to get the camping season rolling!!!!!!!

Whew, what a day! The severe weather siren really got the cobwebs knocked out of it!!! Staff continued to prep between raindrops, and we were able to get our emergency procedures class and practical sessions completed. We feel confident with our weather response after this week.....

Staff ended the day with a team building exercise. And then we topped it all off with a round of solemn reflection. Our philosophy is that this week isn't for training staff, it's for developing them. If they grow in the right areas they will make the right decisions when life throws them curve balls. This staff has had its share this week!

Rain rain go away? We'll take it today if that means nicer days next week!

LT staff worked in program areas most of the day. That was followed with a meal cooked by council board members (thank you!). A quick training session wrapped up the day with enough time to relax.

Back at it tomorrow!

Another staff day in the books! Harvey the therapy dog was sort of paying attention during the classroom management class, staff taught each other how to tie square knots (!), and we even had a little walk and update with the council Enterprise Risk Management committee. Full day!
