NEW District Committee Meeting Location

Blue Heron has a new location for its district committee meetings. The meetings will now be held at the Seventh Day Adventist Church the first Thursday of each month. The church is located at 986 Turrill Rd. in Lapeer. The church is on the corner of M-24 and Turrill. The church is just north on I-69. We hope to make the drive to our meetings a little better with the new location. I would also like to thank First Elder Earl Zarger and Pastor Harry Rogers. They helped to make it possible for Blue Heron to use the church for our district committee meeting.

Rechartering Time

It is time to re-register all of our scouts and leaders for 2008. Rechartering can be done on the Internet. It is possible to handle all the registrations and Boy’s Life subscriptions and information updates on your computer. The only paperwork left is writing the check and securing you executive officer’s signature on the cover sheet. You can still do the pen and paper method. For one year you need to pay for the following:

$10 Registration fee for each scout and leader
$1 Insurance fee for each scout, tiger adult, and leader
$12 For each Boy’s Life subscription
$20 Yearly charter fee

If you need assistance, please call your unit commissioner, district commissioner, or district executive Ned Savage.
