PERMIAN BASIN CONTINUED

Friends of Scouting 2009 - As most know our Friends of Scouting has kicked off for the 2009-year and most of us have started preparing for individual unit Family FOS presentations, as well as a Community FOS breakfasts or lunch.  As we go thru these next few months carrying out the Friends of Scouting Campaign I would like to remind everyone to keep focus on the meaning of this campaign.  Without Friends of Scouting our District and Communities would lack some fundamental resources provided thru Friends of Scouting.  If I have not discussed Friends of Scouting dates with your unit, I will be contacting you shortly. Family Friends of Scouting presentations can be done at your annual Pinewood Derby or Blue and Gold in 10 short minutes. This concept seems to work best for all.  If anyone is willing to assist and volunteer in helping me arrange presentations or know of someone willing to do presentations please contact me at .  It would be most appreciated.
