FREE LIMITTED EDITION PATCH!
Yes, you read it right I am willing to give you a free limited edion patch. NOT A FUNDRASIER!
All you have to do is visit one of our councils fine Cub Day Camps or Family Camps. Too good to be true? Well there is a little more than that.
Each year our Council holds some of the best day and family camps. The volunteers that operate these camps work many long hours to make sure their campers have the best time possible. One way they do this is by getting feedback through the National Camp Accreditation Program also known as .NCAP.
As the council’s NCAP Chair I am responsible for making sure assessments are made and reported to national. If you would like to be part of this elite team of Scouters who perform these assessments, just let me know. The time commitment is really minimal compared to what else we all do.
To volunteer or for more informaon email; [email protected]
Together we can build outstanding camps!
Council Philmont Contingent Trek June 22, 2020 – July 5, 2020
Ever thought of doing a high adventure trek at Philmont Scout Camp in Cimarron, New Mexico?
Philmont has many opportunities for high adventure. Besides rugged backpacking on some of its over 300 miles of high country trails and climbing one or more of its numerous peaks that tower over 10,000 feet, there are many programs that you will be able to experience. These programs are scattered throughout the nearly 200,000 acres of the ranch and the neighboring land that Philmont uses. It is a wonderful adventure!
The Council’s 2019 Contingent Crew has a couple of slots still available for their June 27 – July 10, 2019 Trek.
We are also planning on sending a Council Contingent Crew for a Trek June 22, 2020 – July 5, 2020. Attached is the brochure with more details. If interested, please contact the Everett Service Center at 425-338-0380.

The Sikhs Mox Lamonti Lodge wishes you a happy New Year! To kick off the year, we’ll be hosting our Annual Winter Fellowship and Banquet on January 18-19. All members are invited to this fellowship to meet new brothers, make new connections, and enjoy the fun the Order has to offer. All families are invited to our Annual Banquet for a delicious meal to
celebrate the successes of 2018 and welcome in 2019, as well as to witness the callout for the Vigil Honor and the awarding of the Founder’s Award. Banquet and Awards begin at 6pm at North Creek Presbyterian Church in Mill Creek.
Additionally, the Lodge wishes to remind all unit leaders that the Unit Elections season runs from January 1 – May 31! Chapter leaders will be reaching out to schedule Unit Elections. If you’d like to schedule one, please get in touch with your chapter’s chief or adviser (contact information below). As a reminder, Unit Elections are the only way a youth may become a
member of the Order of the Arrow and further their commitment to unit and council service. Cub Scout leaders should also expect information from their chapter leaders regarding crossover ceremonies.
Below is the 2019 Lodge Calendar, as well as the contact information for your chapter leaders. We hope to see you at our events in the new year.

On February 1, 2019, the Boy Scouts of America will begin admitting girls into Scouts BSA.
One of the characteristics of Scouting—for over a hundred years—is that no matter when you join, however long you stay, or the rank you attain, the Scouting experience prepares you for life. And for some, the pinnacle of their Scouting experience is achieving the highest rank of Eagle Scout.
The policies of the BSA indicate that, except in extraordinary circumstances, a youth desiring to achieve the rank of Eagle must do so before the youth’s 18th birthday. This will continue to be our policy.
It is in the interests of the entire BSA, and in fact our nation, that all girls who join the BSA in 2019 should have an opportunity to earn their Eagle Scout rank should they diligently and promptly complete all requirements.
Accordingly, after carefully considering recommendations from stakeholders, including feedback from volunteers and professionals at the 2018 Top Hands Meeting, the National Executive Committee of the Boy Scouts of America has approved temporary transition rules regarding extensions for youth over 16 but not yet 18 years of age on February 1, 2019 to complete the requirements for the Eagle Scout award.
To preserve the integrity of the Eagle Scout Award, no exceptions to or waivers of any of the requirements for the Eagle Scout Award are permitted under this limited exception, and all requirements must be completed while the individual is a registered member of Scouts BSA, or after achieving the First-Class Rank in Scouts BSA (as specified in the BSA Guide to Advancement).
