Rechartering Training
for Troops & Packs
Rechartering has never been easier since the implementation of online
rechartering! On November 13, all Troops are required to attend the recharter
training at Crossroads Church in Lakeville. This training will teach you
how to recharter for 2008 and what to expect in 2009. All Troops recharter
in January; all Packs recharter in March. Packs save the date for January
8, 2008 that is your training date for rechartering.
Looking for all Missing
Scouts!
It’s unit inventory time. Your commissioner staff
wants to help insure that all youth and adults in your unit are registered
and accounted for! On November 13 at roundtable, bring a copy of YOUR
(not the council’s) roster to be reviewed. The growth committee
will be there to help verify that all boys and adults are registered and
accounted for. Please have all youth names, grades, the dates ofbirth,
phone numbers, and parents’ names for your unit rosters. This will
give you the opportunity to fix any mistakes on your roster before recharter
time. Every Troop, Crew, and Pack is required to attend. Prairie Lakes Pinewood

Fall Youth Recruitment
(FYR)
Congratulations are in order to Ms. Debbie Greiner! Thanks to her Prairie
Lakes recruited about 300 Cub Scouts in 2 weeks in September. We will
be about 100 Cub Scouts away from reaching quality District! Without Debbie
we would have never reached this amazing achievement. She spent 15 nights
away from her family to be at almost every FYR night for each of the Packs.
Each pack did a phenomenal job getting their dates turned in and their
flyer requests in early. Congratulations! Boy Scout Troops, remember we
want you to participate in fall youth recruitment too. Contact Jim Ostroot
for information on conducting an Open House for your Troop.
Upcoming 2008 District
Events
April 19, 2008: Pinewood Derby. April 14, 2008: TBD May 8, 2008: TBD Monthly Scout Swim
Pack and Troop 344 of Northfield Minnesota are hosting
a monthly Scout swim. This is a family event for all members of a Scout's
family. We will be instructing Brownsea swimming requirements (Tenderfoot
through First Class) as well as Swimming and Lifesaving Merit Badges. Safety Afloat and Safe Swim Defense training is also
conducted at the Family Swim. All Districts in Indianhead and surrounding
Councils are invited. This is also a good recruiting tool for Units as
you can have the Scouts invite friends to go swimming. In the future we will be offering canoeing Merit Badge
as part of the program. for more details or contact Jay
Kuivinen with questions. See Family
Swim
