In October, we will be doing New Leader Essentials. In November, we will be doing Cub & Boy Scout Specific training. Please attend to receive new training or refresh yourself. Recharter Training Chuck Hiatt will be conducting training on the recharter process at the October Roundtable. Please plan on attending in order to help yourself complete Re-Charter with as little insomnia, headaches and stress as possible. Internet Advancement Reporting Did you know that you can report your advancements online? The reports must still be submitted to the council office but this is a great way to keep your records up to date. You can print out your online info and turn it in rather than filling out forms by hand. If you get your advancements up to date by October 1st, it will make your rechartering process much smoother and less time-consuming. New BSA Adult & Youth Apps There are brand new application forms out for both youth and adults as of August 2008. Throw away all old apps. Do not attempt to keep them around to use them up. They will NOT be accepted. New apps have the number “408” in the lower right corner of the front page. New apps can be obtained at the council office or from Bryan Gwinner. Come to Roundtable and to see what changes have been made to the forms. Quality Centennial Unit Apps District Commissioner Chuck Hiatt H/541.386.3312 cehiatt@charter.net www.cpcbsa.org/districts/districts/mid-columbia/ Compass Points The Quality Centennial Unit applications are due to Bryan Gwinner or Chuck Hiatt by the October Roundtable. Did you earn your Quality Centennial Unit patch last year? Do you plan on earning it this year? It is not complicated but you must get the application completed and turned in or you will not earn it. Planning Packets Come to September Roundtable to pick up your unit’s planning packet. It contains the district calendar, annual planning chart, safety info and many other valuable items for the success of your unit. Good Turn for America Has your unit been turning in these records? Not many have and we are asking that all units do this. After each event such as Goodwill Good Turn, Scouting for Food, etc., your advancements person simply forwards the information online. It is not a timeconsuming job and yet it helps BSA keep track of all the good works that our boys do. If you have not been doing this as a unit, please choose a person to do it and have it done. The person who is already keeping track of who attended events for segments or advancements could do it with minimal extra work. Thanks! Updated District Web Page Jeff McCaw has taken over administration of our district web page and wants to make it something we all find both valuable and enjoyable to check frequently. He would like to have new information and photos every month. In order to do that, we need your participation. In addition, we want to try to get more Scouting stories in our community newspapers. Please submit your information and/or photos for the website to Jeff McCaw (jeff@printitinc.com) and any info and/or photos for publication to Carolyn Kirby (ckirby@gorge.net). Digital photos are the best way to submit your photos as they can be posted online or submitted to the newspapers directly in that format. You don’t have to write up the stories yourself if you will send in the pertinent info to Carolyn. She will create a story and submit it for publication. We hope to have the distict website up and running this month and will let you know when it is unveiled. District Executive Bryan S. Gwinner B/541.298.5022 C/503.754.3546 bgwinner@cpcbsa.org

Popcorn sale Sept 27-Nov 2 This last Spring under the leadership of Carla Wellington, we had a candy sale that broke us out of our slump and earned us accolades as a district. Now we turn to the big one, the Popcorn sale, with Daydra Blackburn at the helm once more. This year, we’ll make history by selling popcorn well beyond last year’s sale. Last year we beat the year before, so the upward trend is something we can all ride from here. Any questions, call your popcorn Kernel Daydra at (503)522-3316. District Committee and Commissioner Corps. looking for hands The North Clackamas Committee is looking to fill various leadership positions with dedicated volunteers. If anyone has the capacity and he enthusiasm to serve in Membership, Program, or as a Commissioner, please let the District Executive or the District Commissioner know immediately. Service on the District Committee will be fun, gratifying work that any volunteer can feel good about. The youth need some people to stand up for this community. Throughout the last few months, the district has secured most of the major positions. What it really needs now are people sit on the committees and to help the units along. Commissioners are the biggest need by far. Centennial Quality unit Commitment forms Have you seen that quality unit patch out there? Would you like one? Please take the very short amount of time to sit down with your DE or a commissioner to determine your goals now. The program was put together with the best interests of every unit in mind, and it can be a great tool if it is used. Set those goals. Earn that patch. Improve the District Commissioner Hank Brown H/503.577.8010 hvbrown@verizon.net lives of those youth. William D. Boyce Award available The North Clackamas District is dedicated to bringing Scouting to as many families in the area as possible, and it’s well known that the best way for any community to experience Scouting is by starting a new unit. Any volunteer who helps a community get a scouting unit together can be awarded the William D Boyce New Unit organizer award, which is a square knot that can be worn on the uniform. If anyone knows of a church that needs a youth program, a civic organization that wants to serve young people, or a collection of families that may need something like a scouting program, please don’t hesitate to let the District Executive know. Good Turn For America No service project is complete unless it’s been registered at www.goodturnforamerica.org.
