Introduction to Outdoor Leadership Training

Capitol's Training Team, headed by Troop 436's Donald Hill, put on an incredible Outdoor Leadership Training this past weekend.  Thirty-Five Scoutmasters/Assistant Scoutmasters attended the event including one leader from the Stonewall Jackson Council. Here are some pictures from the Training.

Journey To Excellence

The Capitol District achieved Silver in the 2011 Journey to Excellence!  Individual Journey to Excellence patches for each unit can be ordered from the Scout Shop!

Happy New Year!

Hopefully everyone had a safe and enjoyable New Year!

Several cool programs are being offered for youth and adults over the next several months.  If any of your boys are interested in working on their Communication Merit Badge or Public Speaking Merit Badge, there is still time to sign up for the Patrick Henry Program.  If any adults still need to complete some training or want to have fun and take a refresher course in scouting, there is still time to sign up for the Commissioner College or the Outdoor Leadership Training.
