Cub Leaders-

Please make sure when you pick up advancements for your boys, a copy of your advancement report also goes to Lynette Dukes our council advancement person, who attaches those records to the boys who earned them. When looking at your advancement numbers for Journey to Excellence, you will need to make sure the records are accurately tracked. IF you have not been giving a copy of the advancement report to Lynette, please get me a copy of your records and I will get them to the right place. Going forward make sure you also give a copy to her.

Many of you have your Blue and Gold Date already set.. Please send me the date! If not, make sure it’s a topic of discussion at your next committee meeting and let me know ASAP.

Thanks!

ONLY 45 DAYS LEFT!

Now through November
Roundtable

By the time recharters are tuned in at the
November Roundtable

All direct contact leaders in Central
Florida Council must be fully trained for their position in order for them to be
rechartered for 2012!

An untrained leader working with our youth
is simply unacceptable as the BSA moves into its second hundred
years!

Please don’t wait until the last minute to get the training
you need to be a great leader!

The SAFETY of our youth
is of utmost importance and trained leaders deliver a safer program to our
scouts.

The QUALITY of our
program leads to better RETENTION of both
our Scouts and our Leaders. Trained leaders deliver a better quality
program to our scouts.

We all are trained for our jobs in our chosen careers so why
not get the training for your scouting “job” that will make your life easier as
you work with your scouts. The Scouting program changes over the years so just
like we take continuing
educationclasses for our
professions, we need to periodically update our Scouting
training.

Plus, attending scout training classes
is FUN and it provides a fantastic opportunity for you
to network with other
leaders who are holding the same
position you do and who may have already faced and successfully dealt with the
challenges you may be facing now! AND all these new friends you
make at training become wonderful resources to help
you with your unit in the future!

Please remember that some
classroom and outdoor training courses required as part of basic leader training
for some direct contact positions may be offered only a few times during the
year so please don’t wait until the end of the year to look for the training you
need.

If you need on-line training, you’ll have
better success accessing the eLearning system either very early in the morning
or later in the evening when that system is not as busy as it will be during the
day with all of the newly recruited leaders from all over the United States
trying to complete their required trainings.

For a complete listing of all classroom and outdoor training
opportunities, please check the Training page on the Central Florida Council

As we begin our quest for

will not only help us achieve this new award but will also help us improve our
overall program. Every boy deserves a trained leader and trained leaders deliver
a better quality and safer program. An untrained
leader working with our youth is simply unacceptable!

Please remember that some training courses required as part
of basic leader training for some direct contact positions may be offered only a
few times during the year OR may have class size minimums or registration caps
so please don’t wait until the end of the year to look for the training you
need.

Intro to Outdoor Leader Skills
(IOLS)

Make your troop the best it can be!  Registration is now open
for the October IOLS course for the Little Econ District.

Statistics overwhelmingly show trained leadership is the
single most important factor in making sure Scouts stay in and get the most out
of the Scouting Program.  IOLS reinforces the skills we need to teach our Scouts
to

reach First Class rank using the Patrol Method in the
outdoors.   Come join

us for a fun, educational, inspiring weekend. Whether you are
a new SM/ASM or one who has been around for years, this is a worthwhile
experience to review the basics of Scouting as it has been taught for the past
100 years.

Your time will be well invested as you get energized about
reconnecting with the basics of Scouting to deliver the promise of Scouting to
our youth.

Alban’s Cathedral, (Aloma & 417)
