BeAScout
the online Google Map to Scouting
 BeAScout, the online Google Maps application to help parents find Scout units for their children in any zip code WORKS! 35 families discovered units through BeAScout in Wisconsin River District. This is a very powerful tool; but, it needs unit leaders to populate their "pin" with unit contact information. A step-by-step guide for unit leaders can be found on the council membership page (link: http://glaciersedge.org/2010/08/beascout/). Check out this powerful tool at https://beascout.scouting.org/

SCOUTStrong 5K Fun Run
Baraboo Circus Heritage Days
The Circus Heritage Days committee wants to add a 5k fun run/fundraiser to the activities for the weekend.
I have been asked to chair this additional event. I'm looking for committee members to help with this.
- If you've run 5k's and want to help create the perfect event....
- If you've never been a runner and want to help create the perfect event...
- Even if you only want to help come up with a fun name and logo...
....PLEASE SIGN UP!
I'm very excited to help with this. I think that a fun run sets a great example of ScoutStrong AND has excellent fund-raising potential for Glacier's Edge Council.
Yours in Scouting,
Beth Fjeld
Committee Chairman, Pack 879
Outings Coordinator & Treasurer, Troop 47
