This is where Troop 648 is currently meeting and will probably be rechartering us next year.  

For those who remember the church has a Pavilion behind it that we have used for a lot of different scout/training events over the years.  The storm last week
put a a big oak tree onto the pavilion.  

I am looking for a scout friendly / scouter who has a tree service that could lend a hand in getting it off the pavilion and cut up.  This is a professional job as the oak is probably
3-4 feet at the trunk.

If anyone knows of anyone please send me there contact info at  :  marckarasek@gmail.com

The Annual District Business meeting will be held In-Person and by Zoom on Tuesday, November 3rd at 7pm.  See the announcement below for the zoom link or for the In Person address.

FORMAL NOTIFICATION OF DISTRICT ELECTIONS

Dear Scouter,

A district nominating committee is responsible for selecting a slate of competent officers and members at large for the next year. More specifically, the committee (1) reviews the qualifications for district officers and members at large, (2) studies the participation and performance of last year’s officers and members at large, (3) makes suggestions for each officer and member at large, matching skills to needs, and (4) personally contacts each nominee and secures an agreement to serve.

The committee will submit its slate of candidates to the voting members of the district for election on Tuesday, November 3rd, 2020 at 7pm by Zoom (see link below) and in-person at the Scout Hut behind Duluth First United Methodist Church (3208 Duluth Hwy, Duluth, GA 30096).

I want to remind everyone of the upcoming deadline for units to reaching 100% leaders being trained to earn some bragging rights and bling! Any unit who has every registered leader at 100% position-specific trained is going to be recognized by the Atlanta Area Council for such a monumental achievement. The deadline to reach this achievement for this award for 2020 is 8:00 a.m. October 27th.

Becoming a Trained Leader Never Got Easier!

As we approach the fall and begin to see our programs ramping up again, it is important to know our leaders and new parents have the tools they need to run a successful program. Doubly so given the current times. To cater to that need several training opportunities are available to provide those tools. See below for both in-person and teleconference training!
