Notes from the Scout Executive:
Thanksgiving
It is hard to believe that the holidays and the end of another year are upon us. In Scouting, we have many things for which we should be thankful. We have Salmen Scout Reservation – our very own outdoor classroom. Our camp continues to improve as we strive to make Salmen Scout Reservation one of the best in Scouting. We have had a safe year in Scouting. We hope that you all will continue to be aware of the health and safety issues as you plan and execute activities within your unit. We have our moral and financial supporters, without whom none of this would be possible. But above all, we have all of our committed volunteers! You work hard for Scouting and receive very little in return. I hope you know that you make a difference in the lives of young people everyday; because the skills and values youth learn follow them everyday of their lives.
This coming year, Boy Scouts across America will begin a celebration of our 100th Anniversary which will culminate with the 2010 National Jamboree at Ft. A.P. Hill. Our council’s 100th anniversary chairman, Ken Pickering and his team are currently planning many exciting activities, events and programs which will involve us all. In the coming months, look for information on these events and plan to be involved in this once in a lifetime opportunity.
I am personally thankful for the volunteers and staff of the Southeast Louisiana Council. You are and will always be Family.
