Rio Grande Scouters,
There is much happening in and around the Council. If you haven’t heard about the 2010 Distinguished Citizen and Eagle Scout Recognition Luncheon, then you might want to check this link
If you are interested in congratulating our newest Silver Beavers, then you might be interested in our Annual Council Luncheon
And for the Boy Scouts, Varsity Teams and Venturing Crews, the Jamborally is coming up soon and we’ll be inviting troops from other districts and Councils, but we have the shortest drive, it’ll be right at our own Kirtland Air Force Base!Link for the flyer
Our next Roundtable is March 11th and we might be discussing MBC training, have flyers for the Health and Safety Training, looking to get your filled out CQUA’s and let you know about all the training opportunities this spring. Remember there is a new Council Policy regarding every top leader being fully trained in order to complete your charter for next year (actually it’s due in November).
Centennial Award
Please put these dates in your calendar.
See you around the campfire,
Cindy!

District News - January 2010

Rio Grande Scouters,
I hope 2010 is off to a good start for you.
Just to give a reminder of the upcoming dates on the Calendar…
Tomorrow Thursday, January 14th is our Monthly Roundtables. Cub Scout Leaders, we have finally found our new Leader! Please come out to meet the new official Cub Scout Roundtable Commissioner, Glenn Wright. He will be taking the reigns and running it on his own in February, but we’d like to thank Kathy Ferdig for filling in when Andrea stepped down and we want to show Glenn our support. Please be sure to pick up your unit’s mail and shake his hand.
Boy Scout Leaders, this month’s topic is our district’s Life-to Eagle seminar. If the requirements are confusing to you, or if you have Scouts who are Star and Life ranks who need to “Be Prepared”, please make an effort come, they are invited to. This is a chance to get all your questions answered, and any confusion cleared up BEFORE he turns 18!
Klondike Derby is just around the corner and Leo Garcia has just let me know that the drop dead date to register is the 20th of January, that’s Wednesday folks! So if you are ready for some cold weather camping, here is your chance. Webelos can come for the day on Saturday if they are coming with a Troop. Please get those turned in at the Scout Office soon if you are planning to attend. For more information please e-mail Leonard at leonardg1969@yahoo.com
Wednesday night January 20th, we will be visited by the “Centennial of Values Motor Home”. Rick Meyerhein’s Troop 174 will kick off the evening with a flag ceremony. If you would like the opportunity to be present to see our Council receive our Centennial portrait, please plan on coming to the Council Office 5841 Office Blvd NE Albuquerque, NM 87109 between 7 and 8pm and if at all possible please RSVP. It is really important that we start the Centennial year off to a good start to celebrate the 100th year of Scouting in America. Could each of you please let Carlos Martinez know by the end of the week, Friday the 15th how many volunteers you have that are planning on attending this ceremony? He can be reached at carlos.martinez@scouting.org
Last thing I wanted to let y’all know about is the Nuclear Museum. They have some interesting events happening and I hear that the last week of January will be free for Scouts to attend. A Zoom flyer for distribution to all the local Boy Scout units can be found here. Be sure to check their website for more information. There will be activities for scouts to earn a Zoom into Engineering & Science patch. Various sustainable technology activities and demonstrations will help scouts to earn other badges.
See you at Roundtable,
Cindy
