This
year we would like to not only celebrate Scout Sunday
but do it as a Pack! We would like to invite ALL scouts and
their families (of all denominations) to attend Scout Sunday
with our Sponsors -Messiah United Methodist Church.
The Scout Sunday or Sabbath observance may be as simple as the Scouts just attending a religious service of their choice in uniform. Anything beyond that, which you may want to include in a service, must be approved from the presiding priest, rabbi or minister.
On February 8, 1910, Chicago publisher William Dickson Boyce and a group of outstanding leaders filed incorporation papers for the Boy Scouts of America in the District of Columbia. The purpose, he said, "Shall be to promote, through organization, and cooperation with other agencies, the ability of boys to do things for themselves and others, to train them in Scoutcraft, and to teach them patriotism, courage, self-reliance, and kindred virtues, using the methods which are in common use by Boy Scouts."
Today
Scouting has served millions of young men aged 6-18 in a variety
of programs including Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, and Venturing.
Earning Scouting´s highest award--the Eagle Scout award--is
only acheived by 4% of boys registered.
Once
again the time has come to honor the District Volunteers who have made
a significant contribution to our District in the past year.
Who will be the Scouter and Cubber of the Year?
Who won the District Award of Merit?
(This is the highest Award given by the District)
Our District Banquet is being
held at Great Bridge Baptist Church on Battlefield Blvd. in Chesapeake
across from the YMCA. The cost is $10.00 and reservations MUST be made

Mission
The University of Scouting is part of the Tidewater
Council's supplemental training plan. This supplemental training
event is designed to give leaders additional information on specific
areas of Scouting. Some of the topics and procedures touched on in
basic training are discussed in greater detail during the University
of Scouting sessions.
Overview
The University will consist of six hours of instruction and lunch. Lunch
will be provided by the Order of the Arrow cook crew. Participants are
requested to bring a writing instrument and paper to take down any notes.
Participants are requested to wear their Scout uniform. It is recommended
that members of the same unit attend different sessions to enhance the
experience and to bring as much knowledge as possible back to their unit.
During the lunch period there is a Student Union with displays, exhibits,
demonstrations, and a trading post.
Registration
Sign-up for the University classes are
by pre-registration only, there will be no on-site registration.
The cost of attendance is $20 per person and will include patch
and lunch. There will be no registration the day of the University
without the permission of the University President. All registrants
after February 11, will be assessed a penalty fee of $10. Sessions
will be filled on a first-come first-served basis and some sessions
