Richard Crandal is putting together a great program that everyone will enjoy. Please contact Richard at 512-376-2706 or rcrandal@prismnet.com for more details. This is a great time for Troops to lend a hand to their next Tenderfoot Scouts! The cost will be $7.00 per person. Register by November 1st at the council office.

Training
Don’t forget! Everyone who underwent new leader essentials training – NOW is the time to complete your leader training by attending Outdoor Leader Training on November 10-12 at Lindsey Lodge at LCRA Lost Pines Scout Reservation. We’ll offer Outdoor Leadership Skills Training (Boy Scout/Webelos Leaders) for a $20 fee. In addition, BALOO (Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation) Training will be offered for all Cub Leaders. Don’t forget BALOO is required of at least one leader in a pack in order for that pack to camp overnight apart from a council-sponsored event. If you have any questions, please call Wayne Sturdevant at (512) 282-8362.

Fall Roundup Was A Great Success!
Thank you to all the units, Cub Leaders and Committee Chairs that participated in our 2006 Fall Roundup! Thank you to all of the leaders who attended Roundup meetings at the schools, giving of yourselves and your time and affording each boy at elementary schools the opportunity to join Cub Scouting. Tejas District reached more Cub Scouts by the end of September than we had reached all of last year.
