Most areas have a Facebook page. You will need to be OK'd for these. Some are for only Member-Volunteers, others are for only Volunteers. Some may be out of the Council. you must be OK'd first to these groups. Other Service Units may have their own pages this year too, so ask your Service Unit Manager about that if you do not know where your page is, or whether there is one. They can be very handy for building communication and also for learning about fun events and trainings. Any area can make one.
This meeting took place on Saturday in Louisville at their PLC. We learned a lot! Our Staff people are reorganizing for better communication, and better links on the website too. We organized some trainings in order for streamlining them for later too. We learned more about navigation on the website too. The Staff is also adding more things to the website all the time. We also shared some ideas for new trainings.
There is a lot of good news in our Council about our Archery programs. We have MANY people now able to teach Archery in the council, both to troop and for events. People are now working on having even more fun Archery trainings and/or events in the future for people really interested in this.
