Over 200 Cub Scouts and their moms had a fantastic time at the Mom and Me Cub Campout earlier this month. Scouts participated in a number of fun and exciting games and had a blast exploring Camp Kingsley and moms had some special time to bond with their sons in the great outdoors.

For units in the Powderhorn and Adirondack Foothills Districts: Charter Packets are available at the Utica Service Center for pickup.  If you have not received your 2016 Paper Charter Packets yet please email your District Executive to arrange a convenient pickup time if you cannot make it to the office.

If you have any questions about your unit recharter, please contact your District Executive. Units with outstanding charters are not covered under BSA insurance, and liability for injuries shifts to the sponsoring organization.  If you are not sure of your unit's charter renewal status, please contact Council Registrar Peter Steiner at (315) 735-4437.

Merit Badge Counselors, District Committee members, Council Committee members, and other volunteers registered outside of a unit will receive information in the mail shortly to renew their registrations. Please be sure to indicate your desire to continue or not continue in your role, as non-responses will not be renewed into the future.
