BE A SCOUT Posted 10 July 2010	Be A Scout is a nationwide searchable recruiting tool for units to use. This tool is provided free by BSA National Council and is accessible from your MyScouting page to edit. Parents and youth can search through the BSA web or in Google maps for Scout units based on a zip code or city / state. Information provided is determined by how unit leaders complete the database entries. See this FLIER for more detailed information. NOTE: WHEN I EDITED CREW 32 INFO, I received an input error; it seems this is related ONLY to the alternate contact info (required entries). Council is working with national to fix this. HOWEVER - all of the other information DOES SAVE correctly and shows up in a Google map search - I VERIFIE DTHIS!! -- JIM SHECKELS, District Chairman

Occoneechee Scout Reservation - New Facility Reservation Forms Posted 4 January 2009	The Occoneechee Council has, over the last several years, spent over $3 million in improvements at Camp Durant to make it a truly first-class facility for our Scouts. In particular, the addition of a new Aquatic Center, a Handicraft Shelter with pottery kilns, flush toilets and showers in each campsite, and the construction of a Grand Lodge with a modern kitchen and the ability to seat over 700 Scouts at one time are making this camp a state of the art facility. Our Scouts deserve no less. Additional improvements are planned for Camp Durant, Camp Reeves and Camp Campbell. However, these improvements come with increased maintenance costs. In recognition of these costs, we recommend that fees consistent with the need to maintain the camp in a first-class state accompany the use of these improved facilities. The accompanying fee schedule will become active as of September 1, 2008.
