Friends of Scouting
Friends of Scouting for
2008 is just right around the corner!
Every unit should have selected their unit FOS Captain and scheduled their
presentation by this time.
Traditionally, many units
schedule their FOS presentations at events such as; Blue and Gold Banquets,
Webelos cross-over, Courts of Honor etc. We strongly suggest that the event
you select has traditionally had a strong turnout. Our District FOS goal
will be
$85,000.00.
We hope to wrap our campaign no later than March 30, 2008 – so we would like
every unit to schedule their FOS presentation before the March 30th date.
Please forward your FOS presentation date and captain to Al Harrell;
aharrell@bsamail.org.
District

Come one, come all every
third Monday of the month at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church on Sycamore Street
(7:00pm). The pulse of the District, the District Committee, needs full unit
participation from your unit’s Committee Chair. Your input is important, so
come join in.
