District Committee Meeting

All Foxfire District Scouters and units are invited to participate in the 2011 “Clean out the Closet” clothing drive. Winter clothing such as coats, hats, gloves and socks will be collected at the December 7 Roundtable and distributed at one or more local clothes closets.

We are primarily collecting winter clothing, especially for children and larger mens’ sizes (2x, 3x, 4x). The following items are needed:

• Knit hats
• Coats
• Warm gloves
• Sweaters
• Denim pants
• Boots

We want to show Aurora that Boy Scouts still “Do a Good Turn Daily!”

Read about “Scouting’s Journey to Excellence,” which replaces the Centennial Quality Awards Program. All units should report service projects and hours through the Journey to Excellence program.
