District Note: Venture Training / Prayer Requests / Article (Friday, January 25, 2008)
TO PIEDMONT DISTRICT SCOUTERS:
FOR VENTURING CREWS AND SCOUT TROOPS WITH OLDER YOUTH:
For the first time in several years, a Powderhorn course will be offered within Area 7. TheColonial Virginia Council is hosting a course on April 18-20 & May 2-4, 2008. They would welcome participants from the other councils within the Area. I have attached the course flier. This course is a great means of helping our Venturing leaders & other Scouters to understand resources & safety for high adventure activites for older youth.
If you have questions about the course, you may contact the Course Director (Bill Monroe wcmonroe@cox.net) or the Staff advisor Ryan Serio (rserio@bsamail.org).
John Young, Area 7 president
************
Please keep David Reavis (Scoutmaster Troop 911) and his family in your prayers as his father passed away last weekend.
A memorial service was conducted Wednesday, Jan. 23 at Trinity United Methodist Church.
The obituary for Charles George Reavis Jr., was in Monday's Winston-Salem Journal.
(Follow this link and click on last Monday (1/21) on the calendar.)
Also, please lift some prayers for Travis Gentry (former Piedmont District Director) who is having surgery Feb. 5 for a problem with his vocal chords. If all goes as expected, he will be unable to talk at all for about 10 days and then very little for the next several months. You know this will be difficult for Paisley Middle School's "Teacher of the Year!"
