Bob Rich III: BoyPower keynote speaker
We've secured a great keynote speaker for our May 26th BoyPower Dinner. Bob Rich III is the founder and president of ROAR Logistics, a fast-growing subsidiary of Rich Products that serves the shipping industry with multiple locations across the US. Bob will talk about how the Rich family culture and his many adventures (he was a rock star and he played Robert Redford's son in "the Natural") have defined his management style and philosophies on life. Bob is a fun, engaging, and brilliant man whose presentation promises to be the same.
Bernie Bonczyk has passed away

Dwyer renovates veteran's museum
Garrett Dwyer’s Eagle project consisted of completing work to the Veteran’s Room at the Barker high school. The Veteran’s Room is a small-scale museum paying tribute to all of those who have served in the armed forces.
The scope of the project included the securing of donations used to build or purchase new display cases for the many artifacts that have been acquired over the years. Donations to purchase building materials came from family, friends and local businesses and Dwyer and friends logged in more than 118 hours to complete the project.

Provisional camping at Dittmer
Does your Scout want to go to Summer Camp
but can't go with his Troop?
No Problem!
Summer Camp is an important part of the Boy Scout Program, often accounting for a majority of a Scout's Merit Badges and advancement. Scheduling conflicts with the Troop's week of Summer Camp should never prevent your son from enjoying the Complete Scouting Experience.
Consider Provisional Camping. Camp Dittmer offers Scouts the opportunity to go to camp with a Provisional Troop, or a unit that takes in Scouts from other Troops. Under their adult supervision, your Scout will experience the very best that Camp Dittmer has to offer! Whether it's learning to sail on our private lake, zip-lining off our 35ft COPE tower, or just earning requirements for Tenderfoot, Camp Dittmer has something for everyone.
Camp Dittmer has Two Opportunities to Attend Provisional Camping: Sunday, July 3rd - Saturday, July 9th OR Sunday, July 17th - Saturday, July 23rd
Parents who want the opportunity to send their son to camp, please call (585) 343-0307 to reserve a spot today. For any information on the Provisional Troop Program, please email Camp Director Jess Markel at jesse.markel@scouting.org

2016 Spring Camporee
Live the Life of the Mountain Man this Spring!
Traversing the rugged Rocky Mountain Range from 1810 to the 1880s, the Mountain Men opened up the American Frontier for settlement. Without the efforts of these Brave Men, Americans would have experienced tremendous difficulty in creating a country that spanned Sea to Shining Sea.

The Spring Camporee this year will give Scouts a glimpse into the lives of the Mountain Men. Experienced Reenactors will be present during the event to portray the Frontier Lifestyle. Scouts will also take part in Mountain Man activities such as Tomahawk Throwing, Spear Tossing, and Blacksmithing, among other things.
The Spring Camporee will be at Darien Lake State Park this year, conveniently located at the center of Council. Friday, May 13th - Sunday, May 15th 10475 Harlow Rd, Darien Center, NY 14040
