We all had a great weekend during our annual ski trip. We stayed at Lake Junaluska. Visit their website and see the lake, accommodations, views, pictures, ducks, etc.

We went to the slopes of the Cataloochee Ski Area and we had two exciting days of skiing and snowboarding.

Investment in Character - Scout Signs Video

Hello Scouters,

I want to encourage all Scouters in Shawnee District to forward this link to any and all of the parents of Scouts. One of the best "on air" presentations of the importance of our Investment in Character (IC) program. Roundtable Commissioner, Harriett Swindling, and District Vice-Chairman, Mick Davis, had an outstanding and candid discussion about the overall program. If we can get this 10 minute video in the hands of parents and grandparents BEFORE the actual Unit IC presentation, I believe our Boys and Girls will receive even more rewards from the donations from Shawnee District families. Cubmasters, please get the word to your Den Leaders to pass to the very newest of our Scouting families to view this short video. I know 10years ago as a new Scout parent, I was not prepared to donate at the presentations and would have given even more if I had the knowledge presented in this video. The video clip is on the front page of the website.
