Join us for some awesome high adventure activities at the Summit!</B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>POPULATE YOUR "PIN" </B></div> <bR> <div> Currently the primary method for new families and interested youth to find out more about Scouting is the BeAScout.org website. Individuals can visit the site, put in their zip code and find out units in their area. When they click on a unit they are given contact information for that unit so they may either call or send an email to find out more. Currently, there are only a few units who have populated their pin with this information. Many of the units when clicked on refer individuals to the council and not to the unit contact information. This is where we need your help. We need to get those pins populated with unit information. </div> <div> We realize many of you may NOT be the Top Leader or Committee Chairperson of the unit but we need you to check out your pin at <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="http://www.BeAScout.org" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.BeAScout.org"><U>www.BeAScout.org</U></A></FONT>. Put in your zip code and when the units come up click on your unit and see what information is listed. If the information is the council it needs to be changed to the unit information. Now if it's not populated here is the information you need to populate the pin. Please be aware that Cubmasters, Scoutmasters, Crew Advisors, along with the Unit Committee Chair and the Chartered Organization Representatives are the only volunteers who have first-time access to set up the BeAScout.org pin. These leaders will then be able to set up a total of 6 individuals in the unit to access the editing features of BeAScout.org. </div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><B><U>NEW STUFF on</U></B><B> </B></FONT><B>"</B><A HREF="id20.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Events"><U><B>Events</B></U></A><B>" </B><FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><B><U>Page:</U></B></FONT></div> <bR> <div> <B>Spring Camporee Registration Form now posted.</B></div> <div> <B>2015 WORLD SCOUT JAMBOREE Brochure & Leader Application Form</B></div> <div> <B>Eastern Orthodox Scouting Event in May</B></div> <div> <B>Scouting For Food Flier </B></div> <div> <B>Jewish Committee on Scouting's Breakfast and Conclave Fliers now posted</B></div> <div> <B>Calverton Flag Placement Sign-Up Form now posted</B></div> <div> <B>CUBS FOR CUBS Information</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Click  <a href="HTMLobj-2080/SAVE_THE_DATE_2012-2013.pdf"><u>HERE</u> </a>  for your own "Save The Date" page.</B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><B><U>NEW STUFF on</U></B><B> </B></FONT><B>"</B><A HREF="id118.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Training"><U><B>Training</B></U></A><B>" </B><FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><B><U>Page:</U></B></FONT></div> <bR> <div> <B>High Adventure Training Dates for 2014-2015 now posted!</B></div> <div> <B>National Youth Leadership Training ( NYLT ) - WHY your Junior Leaders should take this course - Click  <a href="HTMLobj-2157/onal_Youth_Leadership_Training_in_Suffolk_County_Council.pdf"><u>HERE</u> </a>  </B></div> <div> <I><B>Leave No Trace</B></I><B> Training Courses Scheduled</B></div> <div> <B>Complete 2013 - 2014 Training Dates & Registration Forms</B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><B><U>NEW STUFF on the</U></B><B> </B></FONT><B>"</B><A HREF="id164.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Everything ADVANCEMENT"><U><B>Everything ADVANCEMENT</B></U></A><B>" </B><FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><B><U>Page:</U></B></FONT></div> <bR> <div> <B>Age Guidelines for Tool Use & Work at Elevations</B></div> <div> <B>February Issue of </B><I><B>Advancement News</B></I></div> <div> <B>2014 SUMMER MERIT BADGE PROGRAM details</B></div> <div> <B>2014 Eagle Scout Application</B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
