| Lighthouse District - Connecticut University of Scouting |
Posted Feb. 17, 2010 |
 University of Scouting is a great way to get the required training that satisfies the mandatory training requirements. It is also a great place to find new ideas to make your program more effective. You can also learn about Cub Scout leadership as well as how to be a commissioner or how your unit can set up their own website. A great thing since that is now one of the recognized youth leadership roles in your troop. The deadline for early bird registration is Friday February 19 and registration closes on March 9. So come spend the day with a lot of great scouters and take home a better program for your boys. |

| Lighthouse District - Life to Eagle Process Changes |
Posted Jan. 26, 2010 |
 As of October, the CT Yankee Council discontinued sending copies of the Eagle Project Workbook and application to new Life Scouts. While this was a great way to get a Life Scout started on his project, sometimes new versions of the processes and application were released during the interval between receipt of the materials and completion of the requirements. Now when a Life Scout is ready to begin his project, he should visit the CT Yankee Council's website (www.ctyankee.org/program/advancement) for the most current Council Eagle Scout Process and workbook. He can then download a copy of the Workbook which can be filled out electronically or manually. When a Life Scout has completed all requirements for Eagle, he again should visit the CT Yankee Council's website and download the most current version of the Eagle application.
Also introduced this October were a few changes to the District's Life-to-Eagle procedures. Please refer to the Lighthouse District Advancement website (www.ctyankee.org/districts/lighthouse/advancement) for more information. |
