Final days to sign up for University of Scouting / Additional upcoming training events

[Lawrence Blumberg]

Hi,

By way of introduction, I am Larry Blumberg, a member of the Baden-Powell Council Training Committee.

These are the final days to sign up for the annual Baden-Powell Council's University of Scouting, as registration closes on March 12 in order for lunch to be included with your registration.  The event is being held on SATURDAY, March 21 at the Tompkins / Cortland Community College (TC3) in Dryden NY.

With over 40 classes to choose from, the University of Scouting is a day-long event with something for EVERYONE -- all Cub and Scouts-BSA leaders, parents, AND Scouts BSA youth.  Each class session is 50 minutes long, and in addition to these classes our Scouts-BSA youth will have 13 different merit badge offerings to also choose from.

Join Adult Leaders and youth from across the Finger Lakes and Central New York for a day of fellowship and learning !
