Every Youth Deserves A Trained Leader—EYDATL

There are still a great number of leaders in the Permian Basin that have not received training for their positions within their Units.  Being a trained member of the Boy Scouts of America is vital to ensure the success of your Troop or Pack. Training is provided at the Council and District Levels throughout the year.
    
Leaders and Committee members can begin basic training by completing Fast Start Training and Youth Protection Training. This training is available online and can be accessed by visiting the council’s website at www.cvcbsa.org and then clicking on the training button on the right hand side of the page.  If you do not know if you are trained or not, or if your training is outdated; you may contact Barbara at the Council office for assistance.  Please be sure to have your Boy Scout Member number with you when you sign on to do these trainings.  This number can be found on your Boy Scout member card.  If you do not have a member card, please contact your Unit Leader.  Please check the council website or council newsletter for Training Dates as they come available.

 Permian Basin Nominating Committee

The district committee is responsible for increasing the effectiveness of Scouting throughout a district through the achievement of district goals. Thus, the task of the district nominating committee of selecting a slate of competent officers and members at large for the next year is an extremely important one.
     
The Nominating Committee will meet 2-3 times and brain storm Scouters and Community members who might be good for Scouting.  This committee looks at the current positions and need of the District to make Scouting better in their District.
     
Once they identify prospective individuals, several members will approach them and ask for their participation in the District for certain District position.  If you would like to help the District Committee be better serving the Units of their District, please call Roberta.  We will begin meeting soon and discussing about how to make our District the best.
