The District needs your help finding a new popcorn warehouse.  The location we used last year is full, so once again we are on the hunt for a new space. If you know of a location with a loading dock and space for a semitruck's worth of popcorn, that we could use please call or email Sally at 920-203-0700 or sally.bork@scouting.org

UPCOMING COUNCIL ACTIVITIES

There is a lot of fun scheduled for this Spring!

Our goal is to have a FUN event to kick off our Fall Recruiting season! You can use this as a “bring a friend” event to promote scouting in a fun, low key way to non-scouting families. Uniforms are not required for this event & registration is only $8.00, just make sure to register before 8/7/23. Each registered Scout can bring a friend along, who is not currently in Cub Scouts, but please register your friend (so we know how many boxes/cars to have ready). Registration includes a patch and a “Car” Cardboard box that can be decorated with markers, and other fun decorations to be used in the “Big Race”. The Big Race will have Scouts divided by Dens and Lions will run first, then tigers and so on.

  This year marks the 50th Anniversary of the Bay-Lakes Council. To commemorate we are seeking nominations for exemplary people who were involved in Scouting here in the Bay-Lakes Council. The plan is to honor 50 of these individuals as “50 Scouts You Should Know” at the Golden Eagle Event on October 17 at Lambeau Field Atrium with guest speaker, Jordy Nelson Characteristics for consideration are: Individuals whom have shown bravery & courage serving others Individuals whom promote & live by the Scout Oath & Law Individuals whom devote(d) their time & service to better others Individuals whom have taken extraordinary leadership responsibility in their profession.

From the spark that started the Mom and Son program over 30 years ago, to the move including our newest members in 2018 morphing into the Mom and Scout program, we are pleased to announce Bay-Lakes Council's next step to bring this program to all the families we serve. Let's continue the Scout FIRE! This is your family’s opportunity to spend the weekend together, tent camping, at the beautiful Camp Rokilio. Whether it is Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt, Uncle, guardian or other trusted adult, this weekend will introduce Scouting to a family member that may not normally get out to camp.

August 25-27th at Camp Rokilio
