Nov. 1: NYLT/Wood Badge Banquet Cancelled
We received word just this week that the annual NYLT/Wood Badge Reunion Banquet, originally scheduled for Nov. 1 in Oshkosh, has been cancelled.
This year’s banquet coordinator, Chris Rogers, wrote, “After consulting with people at various levels of Scouting, this is the right decision for this year. In many ways this was a difficult decision and in many ways this was an easy decision. We will all miss the networking and hugging. Of all years when we need hugs the most, we cannot. Many Scouters have reduced face to face interactions. If a Scouter has to choose between a banquet with a bunch of other Scouters or engaging with the youth, the best choice is to engage with the youth. Even if that means we miss a chance to sing our favorite song. No banquet does not mean that the NYLT Spirit is not still alive and that the Wood Badge fire is not still burning.”
His planning team is developing ideas to challenge ALL past Wood Badge and NYLT alumni to do something to improve themselves, help others, or engage with Scouting in a new way. Additionally, the group is working effective communication methods to reach and engage as many people as possible with these challenges. Watch for future updates.
Nov. 19: Religious Emblems Training
To encourage members to grow stronger in their faith, Scout can participate in a robust religious emblems program provided through specific religious groups. More details and links to specific faiths can be found here. Counselors are always needed to assist Scouts as they explore their religious faith. Several religious emblems require that facilitators be trained before they work with Scouts on the emblems. This opportunity will be a chance for all interested adults to learn how to facilitate these religious emblems for a Scouting unit. This training will give an overview of the emblems programs and activity patches available to Scouts and includes a breakout session to learn tips on how to get youth and parents involved and run the programs effectively.
