Thursday, August 26, 2010
CHATTAHOOCHEE DISTRICT CAVALCADE (September 25)
WHAT: The BIG EVENT -- Chattahoochee District Cavalcade -- is only a month away!
There's something for every age in the wide world of Scouting right here at home. Boy Scout troops will demonstrate their skills and let YOU try, too. Cub Scout packs will show off their creativity & enthusiasm in a variety of games with a purpose, so bring the whole family to enjoy the fun. Sea Scouts, Venturers & Explorers can stage action areas to feature what they do in their BSA program. Webelos -- this is a great time to take a look at local Boy Scout troops before you cross the bridge later this year!
WHEN: Saturday, Sept. 25, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Cav's on SATURDAY this year to fit better with other important priorities. Activities are open-house format to fit with your family's weekend. Unit leaders, please plan to set up early so action can begin by 10am.
WHERE: Roswell First Baptist Church on Mimosa Blvd., just a block off Roswell's historic square -- the same church where our district holds Roundtable each month.
FEE: $5 incl. 1 event patch
Fee gets your entire Cub Scout family in with a Game Card for every person.
$5 is also the fee for individual Boy Scouts or others (incl. adult leaders) registering separately. Patch supply is limited and is first-come, first-serve. Extras will be for sale.
HOW TO REGISTER: Stop by the registration desk at Cavalcade; pre-registration may also be open online shortly on the CDBSA.org website.
YOUR UNIT: The best way to experience Cavalcade is for your UNIT to create & run a game, interactive display, skill challenge area, or other activity. UNITS PLEASE SIGN UP NOW so we can reserve space for your activity. Contact event chair: Marilyn Dunsmore, cm-roswell@comcast.net; 770-442-8849 (CL 404-210-5072). If your unit is considering running an activity booth at AAC Scoutfest in October, this would be a great way to dry-run it before you get there!
RAIN OR SHINE: Come prepared for any weather! Activities will be halted only for hazardous weather conditions. (We're not able to offer rain checks/refund, sorry.)
NOT A DROP-OFF EVENT: All Scouts must be accompanied by parent/guardian or under supervision of their unit's adult leader/s.
QUESTIONS? Contact the event chair Marilyn Dunsmore, cm-roswell@comcast.net; 770-442-8849 (CL 404-210-5072).

Subject: [Troop 989] Mike Rowe from the Discovery Channel talks about Eagle Scouts
Mike Rowe has said in commercials for Dirty Jobs that the inspiration for the show was as a tribute to his father and grandfather. Rowe became an Eagle Scout on January 2, 1979. During his service project for Eagle Scout he read aloud for students and he cites this as one of the reasons he became interested in narrating and writing.
On being an Eagle Scout he said "The Eagle Award is not really meant for people who need to be dragged across the finish line. It's meant for a select few..."' You can read his whole letter to a scout at http://oakford.wordpress.com/2009/09/29/a-letter-to-potential-eagle-scouts/.
Mike has posted some cool stuff on his website at http://www.mikeroweworks.com/mikes-office. There is a link to watch the July31st Jamboree show on-line as well as a great video of Mike wishing the BSA a happy 100th birthday.

Hello Saints,
Just wanted to let you know that the Golf Ministry will meet on Saturday, April 17th, 9:45 am in Room 317. Golfers of all skill levels are encouraged to attend. Our mission parallels Zion’s, “win souls and build up the body of Christ” through the fellowship of playing golf. Contact Deacon Bobby Scales Sr., 678-428-8073, blscalessr@bellsouth.net.
Our first outing was a big success and a lot of fun. The weather was a little cool and windy but we still had great fellowship and an enjoyable time. On the 3rd Sunday in this month, April 18th, we plan to recognize all who participated in the first outing as well as those who were involved in the start up of the Golf Ministry. This will be done at the morning service. So, I hope that all of you will be at church on that day.
Our next outing is May 9th at Steel Canyon Golf Club, 460 Morgan Falls Road, Sandy Springs, GA 30350, 770-390-0424, www.steelcanyongolfclub.com. Green fee is $29 which includes the cart.
We look forward to seeing you on the 18th and 9th.
In His Service,
Bobby
