News & Upcoming District Events

Open House on Recruiting
August 19, 2009
Church of the Nativity, Northborough MA
7:30pm – 9:00pm


Tri River District will be providing an Open House for Scout Leaders on August 19, 2009, Wednesday from 7:30 to 9 PM, at the Church of the Nativity in Northborough, MA.  It is going to be a great session and we recommend that all units send a representative or two.

The primary purpose of the event is to empower successful recruiting activities, whether they are Cub Pack, Boy Scout Troop, Town wide, or Entity.  We will provide the resources and experienced leader’s knowledge to fuel your recruiting activities.   We will discuss unit level and City/Town multiple unit recruiting activities.  We hope to have Knox Trail Council’s Membership Committee members to help in the discussion on successful recruiting activities.

We will provide new resources tailored for Cub packs and for Boy Scout Troops.  For Cub Packs we expect to be distributing the New Den Leader Kits.  You will get time to breakout with Scouting leaders from your town/City during the session with the intent to facilitate dialog across units to support town wide recruiting events. 

We will also provide information of interest to units attending.

We will provide an overview of what training sessions are coming up that you can send your new leaders to for jump start training on line and what other training will be available in the coming months. 

We will discuss and overview financing the unit program.  

This is going to be a packed agenda with time to ask your questions. We are looking forward to seeing you there.  We look forward to helping you to provide a fun filled scouting program with new scouts and new scout leaders /Parents taking part in the adventure.

Yours in Scouting,

Steve Symes
Tri River District Chairman

2009 FRIENDS OF SCOUTING FAMILY CAMPAIGN
‘It’s the journey, not the destination.’

For the Packs, Troops, and Teams of Tri River have had Friends of Scouting presentation for their Parents and Leaders, please accept our appreciation. For Units that have not, to date, scheduled a FOS presentation, we are asking your leaders to contact your Unit Commissioner, District Commissioner, and/or the District Chairman to schedule a presentation as soon as possible. As a Scouting Parent, Unit Leader, and a Friend of Scouting you may also make an online donation at  www.ktc-bsa.org.  We need 100% participation from all Scouting parents at whatever level you decide on. If you are a past donor to Knox Trail Council, please consider giving at that level or increase your support of Scouting. All of the FOS donations to Knox Trail Council go directly to supporting quality Scouts and your Scouts in Knox Trail Council. We continue to support your values and the values of Scouting that help Scouts develop in character, citizenship, fitness, and leadership skills they will use for their entire life.

 

It is most important that all Scouting families are given the opportunity to help in the financial support of the quality Scouting program offered to all Scouts of Tri River District and Knox Trail Council. It should be noted that the $11 registration and the $12 Boys’ Life fees are all sent directly to the National Boy Scouts of America. Knox Trail Council’s operating budget is supported by contributions from the community and Scouting families. We need the support of  Scouting families in Tri River District of Knox Trail Council. Your unit leader or committee chairperson should contact Bob Wyman, District Director or Steve Symes, District Chairman to set up a Unit Friends of Scouting Family presentation during the months of  June, 2009 or September, 2009. Thank you.
