BSA NATIONAL NEWS:
MECKLENBURG COUNTY COUNCIL NEWS:
Computer Crimes Camp: is targeted to rising 9th to 12th grade students who are interested in learning about cybercrimes. See how Detectives are able to find evidence of crimes on computers, cell phones and the internet. Campers will utilize cutting edge technology while working with computer specialists, Police Officers, and Special Agents to uncover hard to find digital evidence. Sorry parents … no big kids allowed!
This special event will take place on August 5th – 8th at the CPCC Merancas Campus.
There will be a tuition fee to cover the costs of this event. For more detailed information, please visit: www.stemsummerexperience.com/ComputerCrimes.asp
Be Weather Smart! Be Prepared! Tornadoes in the Southwest, afternoon summertime thunderstorms coupled with the Atlantic Hurricane season beginning this Saturday, June 1st, it is important that all of us Scouts, Scouters and parents be mindful of changing weather patterns in our area. Does your family have a severe weather plan and/or evacuation plan in case of emergencies? History has taught us that we are not immune to these types of storms even if we are inland. BSA, The state of North Carolina, and FEMA all have excellent resources available to us on hazardous weather training. Please visit: www.scouting.org/courses/hws/ws_news, www.readync.org, and, www.fema.gov.
DISTRICT NEWS:
Apache Web Site Helps: Please go to our district web site at www.mccapache.org for two segments that we believe will be beneficial to both units and adult leaders. The first segment is aptly named Around the Campfire where unit leaders, parents and friends can see potential options for a weekend or day trip, suggestions where Eagle projects are needed, and just good old discussion topics. There is also an excellent resource guide for new parents to learn more about the BSA terminology as well as suggested gear guides for your families.
There is also a Fundraising Section where units can post specific information about an upcoming fund raising event so folks outside their immediate unit may have the option to participate and help out.
