Greetings Fellow Scouters,
As we step into the promise of a new year, there's a whirlwind of thrilling programs awaiting us on the horizon. I extend my heartfelt salute to all the leaders and volunteers whose dedication breathes life into these programs. Our camp at Ho Non Wah continues to evolve, and we eagerly anticipate welcoming Scouts not only from our council but also from across the nation this summer. Nestled amidst breathtaking scenery, our camp boasts unparalleled waterfront vistas adorned by majestic live oak trees draped in Spanish moss—a beauty we sometimes overlook.
I'm diving into an extensive overhaul of our website to ensure every Scout, volunteer, and supporter has access to the latest information, articles, and effortless navigation to all our activities on the calendar, with registration just a click away. Stay tuned as we aim to roll out these updates by mid-spring. We're always receptive to suggestions on how we can enhance the user experience and efficiency of Scout & About, as well as our website.
Allow me to extend a warm welcome to our new council president, Jay Wallace. With a wealth of fresh ideas and boundless energy, Jay promises to bring benefits to all. Additionally, I wish to express my profound gratitude to my dear friend Chris Staubes for his exceptional four-year tenure as our council president. Chris's legal expertise served as a guiding light through the challenges of bankruptcy and the COVID-19 pandemic. His resilience echoes the timeless wisdom of Rev. Robert Schuller: "Tough Times Never Last, Tough People Do!" Thank you, Chris, for your tenacity and unwavering commitment to the program.
Lastly, I extend heartfelt appreciation to all our supporters and urge our Scouting families to continue their invaluable financial backing of our esteemed Scouting programs. Every contribution is an investment in our collective future. Y
ours In Scouting,
Dr. Bobby C. Baker VP – Marketing
