Happy September and all things new, like all the new seasons: School, Fall, Football, Soccer, Scouting, Recruitment, and so much more! As summer comes to an end and we welcome fall this month is full of change and settling into a new routine, with that new routine comes new chances for growth. If everyone reading this please do at least one thing to help grow your Pack, Troop, or Ship, invite a friend to an upcoming meeting, tell a coworker about the great things your Scout is up to, share on Social Media what your unit is up to or why Scouting is important to your family.    

     

Reminder No Roundtable this Month, use this time to grow your unit! However OA will be meeting at the Rokilio Welcome Center 7-8pm

 


October 12th 7pm at 

Lakeland University (Laun Center) will be the next Roundtable meeting.  Add this to your calendar, we will be offering trainings, networking, and a chance to meet other Scout Leaders & Parents.

It seems like Christmas is ages away but here at the Museum we are planning away. However we, the Lakeshore District Scouts have be asked by the Sheboygan County Museum to see if we would participate in their Holiday Memories Community Tree project. The museum invites local organizations to come and decorate a tree with whatever materials they would like. From handmade to store-bought it is up to us. These objects can be random or correspond to a theme or maybe they convey what our organization does, the options are as wide as your imagination is. The only rule is that nothing edible gets placed on the tree. The theme for Holiday Memories this year is "Holiday Delights." The trees will be available to decorate starting November 13th, and we need to be decorated and ready to go no later than November 21st. Sally has reserved a tree for the District and would love for a pack or troop to coordinate the decorating of the tree.  Please email Sally at Sally.bork@scouting.org if your pack or troop would like to take the lead on this  I would love to see handmade ornaments from each unit on this tree!
