Scouts Present Report to State to Governor Malloy
|
|
Gov. Dannel Malloy took time out of his President's Day morning to meet with Scout representatives from across Connecticut and accept the annual Report to the State. Scouts and volunteers came from Connecticut Yankee Council and Connecticut Rivers Council.
Governor Malloy, a Life Scout from Stamford Troop 22, told the Scouts of his fond memories in the troop and of campouts at Camp Toquam. He took time to answer the Scouts' pressing questions about anti-matter machines and water-powered cars, but also commended the Scouts on their participation in Scouting and their leadership and service to Connecticut. (Pictured to Gov. Malloy's left are Connecticut Yankee Council Scouts Nicholas P., a Tiger Cub from Southington Pack 8 and Wendy A., a Venturer in Crew 68 and our Council's Venturing Officers Association President).

New Tour Plan Guidelines & Procedure
Effective March 1, 2011, what are currently known as local and national Tour Permits will be replaced by a "Tour Plan" and the online tour permit system will no longer be available. The tour plan is a checklist for best practices to be prepared for safe and fun adventure. Completing the tour plan may not address all possible challenges but can help ensure that appropriate planning has been conducted, that qualified and trained leadership is in place, and that the right equipment is available for the adventure.In addition, the plan helps to organize safe and appropriate transportation to and from an event, and defines driver qualifications and minimum limits of insurance coverage for drivers and vehicles used to transport participants. |

Friends of Scouting - An Investment in Character
| Connecticut Yankee Council 2011 FOS Campaign |
The 2011 Friends of Scouting Campaign - An Investment in Character, An Investment in Your Son - is underway! Friends of Scouting makes Scouting happen. It provides for full-time professional and support staff, liability insurance, leadership training courses, five first-class outdoor camping facilities and special outreach programs for promising kids in at-risk communities. Your support as a Friend of Scouting allows the Council to provide a high quality summer camp program at an affordable price. The Council invests more than $175 per Scout to ensure that every member has opportunities as big as all outdoors. When a volunteer comes and makes a presentation at your unit, we hope you'll be as generous as possible in supporting a program that is making a lifelong difference in your son or daughter
