We are moving forward with 2020 activities. We have a lot to talk about, including: Fall Program kickoff and how we will take back Scouting:
- The current state of Scouting in the District and GCC
- Cub Scout Pinewood Derby – Chandler Ostrich Festival
- Yuma Colorado River Run – Scouts
- Virtual Events through August
- Re-Charter Update
- Western Region Leadership Week – Philmont, November 2020
- For Discussion: Cub Scout Advancement Days – September
My take on the current state of health – just when it looked like face to face activities could begin anew in June, COVID did this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bby9yczLHZ0
So we are going to do this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRv-KejLIo0
Most importantly – we are determined to assist our Unit’s adult volunteers in delivering the Scouting BSA Mission:
“to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.”
It is difficult to ensure an accurate understanding of the current lay of the land without participation from this leadership team. The mechanism for this input is the District Committee – the biggest part of unit input to the District Committee is designed to come from Unit CORs.
The Gila River District has monthly District Committee meetings monthly the 4th Thursday. Your input is critical to our success. I will see you there.
Your’s in Scouting,
Kent Thomas, District Chair
