Family Camp Update--25-26 SEP 2010 at Camp Rock Enon

Family Camp is coming up quickly!  If you are a part of Cub Scouting, this is a great chance to keep the "outing in Scouting"!

If you haven't registered yet, now is the time.  Don't forget parts A and C of the medical form for each person attending, too.

There is a typo on the form--check-in begins at 8AM, not 10AM!


Hope to see you and your Scouting family at Camp Rock Enon!

Shenrapawa OA Chapter Meeting

Shenrapawa OA Chapter Meeting

Sunday, September 19, 2010

2:00-3:30pm

Andy Guest State Park

The park is in Warren County, eight miles south of Front Royal and 15 miles north of Luray. It's off Rt. 340 in Bentonville

The plan is to meet at the entrance at 2:00 pm and limit vehicle entrance into the park to save money.

If you arrive after the group enters you will need to pay the entrance fee yourself.  (You will then need to drive around and find us.)

We will find a location for the meeting and get started as soon after 2pm as possible.

(Shelters are first come first served.)

It is important that each Boy Scout unit have a representative there youth and/or adult so we can work to make the Shenrapawa OA Chapter a more vibrant group.  Any Brothers are welcome to attend this event.

Please visit the Andy Guest State Park website for more information about the location.

Centennial Recruiter Patch--Free!

With Back-to-School recruitment right around the corner, we wanted to make sure that you know about this special Centennial Recruiter patch.

If you have a Scout who recruits a boy into your troop (or maybe already has), this fine-looking piece of history is available (while supplies last) at the Scout office--just ask for Jeanne.

Oh, and they are free.

AdVENTURE coming your way...

An old event is on its way back.

I haven’t seen this at the Venture Weekends in probably 8 or 9 years.

This year we’re adding a twist to an age old event.

Be sure you have a digital camera in the group (camera phone works just fine). You’ll also want to bring a memory card and prepare to have some fun.

This event combines adVENTURE “Then and Now” into one!

Look for more clues soon!

Shenandoah Area Council at Jamboree
