Hey Scouters! Great News!! You now have the opportunity to take “New Leader Essentials” online!! It is now called “This is Scouting” New Leader Essentials is the training required for ALL leaders, regardless of your position, and is for Cub Scout, Boy Scout and Venturing Leaders. (If you are planning to sign up for Woodbadge, it is one of the required trainings!) To find this online………..go to olc.scouting.org and click on “This is Scouting”.. I have not tried it out myself, but understand that it takes about 45 minutes depending on how fast your computer is, how fast you read, etc……..Hope you’ll all go check it out!! Please encourage all of your leaders to go through this online course if they haven’t taken the New Leader Essentials Course. Thanks!

WSR Pirate Ship - Mason City Packs 9, 12, 2, and 401 participated in the North Iowa Band Festival Parade in Mason City last spring.  The pirate ship float was built by Brad Pitman of Pack 9 to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Winnebago Scout Reservation.  Scouts from all around the council were able to enjoy the pirate ship this past summer as it “floated” on the parade field at WSR.  A big Thank-You goes to Julie and Brad Pitman for organizing the Band Festival event with the scouts!
