NCAC has launched a "Gathering of Eagles" initiative that is aimed at Eagle Scouts in the NCAC region. As reflected below, we have just sent an email to more than 700 Eagles in the Washington region. We are especially anxious to engage Eagles who may not have been active in recent years. Our first "Gathering" will be on October 28. If any of you are Eagles and not yet signed up on our Eagle roster, please go to www.boyscouts-ncac.org/gatheringofeagles and register so that we can keep you aware of special Eagle activates. You're welcome - actually encouraged! - to share this email with any Eagles that you know. If you are an Eagle, I hope that you will RSVP as requested below and join us on October 28.

Fellow Eagle Scouts – Thank you for joining our roster of Eagle Scouts in the National Capital Area Council (NCAC) region! As noted in the postcard, in my conversation with you and/or in the introduction on the Gathering of Eagles form (www.boyscouts-ncac.org/gatheringofeagles), our aim is simple -- to share with you local and national 100th anniversary activities for the Boy Scouts of America, to encourage networking among Eagles, to re-engage those Eagles who may have stepped away from Scouting for a while, and to encourage continued support of Scouting. Our Steering Committee is up and running with a Program team chaired by Steven Swann, a Public Relations team chaired by Tim Bintrim, and a Fundraising team chaired by Bill Huddleston. Several of you have already signed up for one of these teams. If you have not and would like to, please let me know. We've launched the Gathering of Eagles webpage on the NCAC website:www.boyscouts-ncac.org/thegathering. Check this page often to keep up-to-date about current Eagle and Council activities that might be of interest to you. The first activity to consider is our inaugural event - 'The First Gathering' - on Wednesday, October 28 inWashington, D.C. NCAC Scout Executive Al Lambert will be on hand to share with us some of the exciting Centennial activity details and I'll play host along with the Steering Committee. I encourage you to attend 'The Gathering' and take the opportunity to connect with as many of your brethren as possible. We are a unique collective that has within its power the ability to have a tremendous impact on the Scouting in this region and on Scouting's future. Yours in Scouting, John Mason, VP for Strategic Resources National Capital Area Council, Boy Scouts of America |
