Hello Canyons — Happy New Year!
2025 Is bringing many changes, I have changed hats and I am fortunate to have been asked to serve as the Canyons District Committee Chair. This year will be busy. Our District Committee needs 2 positions filled quickly, we need a Fundraising Chair and a Newsletter Editor/Manager. If you are interested or want more information, please contact our D.E. Randy Aldrich at Randall.Aldrich@scouting.org.
Beginning in January, District Committee meetings will be held at our new office, on Pullman. We are all excited to see and use our new facility. A sincere congratulations to our Board in acquiring the building and adapting it for our use so quickly. Things on our horizon include: implementing the volunteer bill of rights alongside the professional’s bill of rights and then continuing to develop the School-Based Pack program.
Upcoming events to make sure you calendar are: the District Dinner, The Council Dinner and of course everyone’s favorite Camporee. Please keep a watch for additional information and sign-up links in the Canyons Communiqué.
Lastly, all of our scouts deserve a trained leader, The OC Council Calendar has some upcoming trainings listed, please check out what is being ofered and sign up for courses that you need. Additionally, some training courses are available on line at my.scouting.org.
I am looking forward to an exciting year and thank you to all our volunteers.
Yours in Scouting and Service,
