The holiday season invites us to slow down and reflect on the values that guide our work with Scouts.

Service, faith, leadership, and community are woven throughout the Scouting experience. The University of Scouting offers space for that reflection through faith-based learning, along with a wide range of courses supporting leaders across all Scouting programs.

Whether you are looking to deepen your understanding of Duty to God, strengthen your unit, or simply reconnect with the purpose behind what you do, there are opportunities to learn, reflect, and grow together.

Hello Troop leaders,

Our Eastern Division IOLS has 4 people currently registered. I asked Jim Boksa to reopen registration until midnight on Thursday, October 23.
The weather is going to be chilly, but they have taken the rain out of the forecast for now!!

If you know anyone who needs this training, please ask them to consider signing up for it. I know we have some new SM and ASM out there who are maybe not on my email list yet. And please consider reaching out to Arrow of Light Leaders who might transfer to your troop so they can get a jumpstart on their training. I have attached a revised flyer for this training with the new registration deadline.

Thank you!

Yours in Scouting,
Barb Blue
