Leon Valley District Commissioner

Notes for the October 2008 Roundtable

First thing first…..A new Kratzer to be recruited into Scouting has been born. In six years he’ll be a Tiger Cub! His name is Amare Isaiah, born 3 Oct 2008 @ 22:17 hrs.

LVD is presently looking for a new Cub Scout Roundtable Commissioner. This is an important position in Scouting. As a RT Commissioner you assist the Training Team with a monthly training session where you share ideas with unit leaders, but serve in the Commissioner Cabinet. Help us make the scouting experience the best it can be for each youth in our District. Note: I am sure the new CSRTC will need RT Staff also!!!

Attending the Council Camporee being held 14-16 November at the Texas Motor Speedway? Pre-registration by 30 October with multiple fee options. See the Council website. You will find a 13 page packet for this happening. Everyone can attend, CS through Venture!

Re-Charter: We should be able to get every Units packet to you on time with assistance from the DE picking up the packets when visiting Waco. If you are a new leader there is a Re-Charter Guide on the District Website. Please feel free to ask a Commissioner for help!

Do you want to be kept up-to-date with the “Happenings” in Longhorn Council? Sign-up for “LHC News” on the Council website. This is your chance to be “in the know.”
