ROUNDTABLE
Be informed, come to District Roundtables the (2nd) Second Thursday of every month at Sierra Vista United Methodist Church at 7pm. Roundtable is the best time to update yourself on training dates, upcoming events, dates changes, and most importantly the best time to get help with membership, program, or any other concerns associated with your unit. If the day and time do not fit your schedule please let the Roundtable staff know and we will make a point to get vital information you missed out to your unit. We want you to be successful and the Roundtable meetings will most certainly help you to accomplish success.

BOY SCOUTS
Summer
Camp Director Notes
Summer
camp for Boy Scouts is just around the corner! A great new merit
badge program is being added for this 
summer.
The council is upgrading the Rappelling tower to include a climbing
wall. This will allow us to offer the “Climbing Merit Badge” for
the first time. We encourage all the troops attending to take advantage
of this new offering. A total of 25 merit badges and the Ranch Adventure
Program will be offered at camp this year. So come join us for a
great scout camp experience.
The staff for summer camp is in the final stages of being selected. We still need to fill four staff positions for camp. These include an archery director, a waterfront director, a camp steward and the ranch adventure director. Anyone interested in these positions should contact the camp director, Keith Mahler. He may be reached at (325) 655-7107 or (800)321-7107 or by e-mail at .
