A Scout is Helpful. The fuller explanation of this point of the Scout Law is: "Volunteer to help others without expecting a reward".  To help Packs, Dens, Troops, Crews, Scouts and their families, we can share ideas about ways to help.  Our service project page is a compendium of ideas about what Scouts can do, from large "service projects" that can be organized by Scouts and/or Units, to existing service opportunities that you can join in, as well as small ways that a Scout can help others (for younger Scouts, with help from the family).  More here.

Notes from the November District Committee Meeting are attached at the bottom of this calendar entry, including topics about upcoming events like District Awards Banquet February 8, District Pinewood Derby March 29 and Key Leader Conference January 18, plus discussion of Troop Recruiting, standing up one or more Troops of Girls, doing a day camp or twilight camp, recruiting commissioners to help units, and more.  Email webmaster@southfultonscouting.com if you need a reminder about the login.

Did you know?  Camp Cards are an excellent way for Scouts to earn their way to do Scouting -- not just camping, but all of Scouting.

These cards, created in partnership with local and national businesses, offer discounts to supporters of Scouting who purchase the Camp Card. Cards are sold by Scouts to members of their community. Profits from these cards are split evenly between the council and the individual Scout. The funds a Scout earns can be used towards Summer Camp or other Scouting activities.

If like last year, Units participating in this program will earn 50% commission ($5.00) for each $10 Camp Card they sell -- so, for every $10.00 card sold, your Scout earns $5.00 for themselves or their Unit. The sale begins in February and ends in April - but you can register now to participate.  More information and registration information is at www.atlantabsa.org/campcards. 

If you're no longer involved or interested in Scouting and you want to "opt out" of these messages, email the Webmaster and we'll drop you from the list.  But If you want to be "all in" on Scouting, see our Leader Training page (good resources for parents too through the National On Line Training site at ScoutingU with the same login as at My.Scouting.Org), and if you want the login codes, just email the Webmaster ...
