Chiefly Speaking - May 2008
On
May 4th there was a regional event held right here
in Pittsburgh. This event was NLS (National
Leadership Seminar). I would like to congratulate
the 12 members of our Lodge that partook in this
weekend long and vigorous training in order to not
only help them to become a better leader in there
day to day lives, but to also work to better the
Lodge and the community with their newly acquired
skills.
I would like to congratulate all of those members that took advantage of the 15th Anniversary patch deal and paid your dues. The Lodge looks forward to seeing you in the future at events and giving service when the opportunity presents its self. Since this is the Lodge’s 15th Anniversary, this is the year to do great things. Remember to stay an active, honored Brother. The best way to get involved is to join a Committee, get involved in a Chapter, or help you troop out. Find an outlet that you are interested in to help the Scouting movement and the ideals of camping. If you need suggestions or would like to find out exactly what you can do, let me know. The Lodge can find a great position or job that suits to your skills.
If you have taken a stroll outside recently then you are not alone, Summer is here and the weather is getting better. This means that our Summer Camp activities are upon us. When you come to camp look to see what all there may be for you to do. These items include: Brotherhood conversion, assisting with the Call-out ceremony, and building fires.
Spring is a very busy time for our Lodge. In May, two events will happen and they are approaching faster then you think.
First, May 16th -18th for our Lodge’s Spring Ceremonial at Heritage Reservation. This weekend provides another opportunity for Ordeal Candidates to complete their ordeal and join our Lodge. During the weekend, we will be performing service projects that will assist in preparing the camp for the mass flow of Scouts and Scouters for this year’s Road Trip 2008. Let us pull together as a Lodge to help to ensure a great camping experience for this year! Download 2008 Spring Ceremonial Registration form.
Third, May 30th - June 1st for Spring Service Weekend at Camp Baker. This will be the last opportunity Ordeal candidates to complete their ordeal prior to Summer Camp. This weekend also represent final camp to receive service in our two year rotation plan. This Fall, we will start the rotation again. Let us show Camp Baker the same level of service that we have provided to our Council's other 4 camps! This will insure that Scouts across the Council will have a positive camping experience year after year. Download 2008 Spring Service Weekend Registration form.
