American Red Cross Waterfront Lifeguard Training and BSA Lifeguard Training: Information here

Mike here from Sycamore District. Council has asked that I work on getting one of the 2010 programs up and running. It's called "Get in the Game".

I have sent off for a lot of information from National as to how this program is supposed to be set up. In the meantime I'm looking for a couple of scouters in each district that would like to help set this up.

Scouters that already know and understand what Geocaching is would be really helpful but it's not necessary. Please contact Mike if you can help out. mjcondon5 <at> comcast <dot>net

The Rockford Ice Hogs are holding a Scout Night on March 19th. More information is available here.

A pilot study in twenty councils in 2010 will require training for all top leaders in 2010. Top leaders are Cubmasters, Scoutmasters, Varsity Coaches, Venturing Crew Advisors, and Explorer Post Advisors.

Plans are to require training for all top leaders in all councils in 2011 and all direct-contact leaders in 2012. Direct-contact leaders include assistant leaders and den leaders.

Make plans now to attend or complete your basic training.
