  • Blogs where district and council leaders can share news and program updates
  • Forums let members can post questions and discuss with other leaders
  • Member profiles are your space to share your Scouting background and connect with other leaders
  • Council Calendar lists upcoming events and key dates (be sure to join your district's group to get the latest district events too!)

Free Pizza Party for Your Unit!

A note from Steve Smith, Chair of our District Golf Tournament:

 

The 4th annual Patriot District Golf Tournament is coming up in September and we are trying to get as many golfers as possible.  The Troop, Pack or Crew that brings the most golfers to the tournament will get a free Pizza Party!  The district committee will bring the pizza to a meeting for your unit. 

The tournament is Monday September 9th at General’s ridge Golf Course in Manassas Park.  The cost is $100 per player.  Please see the attached flyer or on the Patriot District Website http://www.boyscouts-ncac.org/event/988943

There are many ways to get the word out.

  1. 1)     Get the word out through your troop, tell the scouts!  Pizza will bring them in!
  2. 2)     Have your committee donate a foursome to the Chartering Organization.  What a great way to say thank you to them for all they have done.
  3. 3)     Ask your parents to get the word out through their friends or at work.

We hope of you will get the word out and make the 4th Annual Patriot District Golf Tournament our best event yet!

2nd Annual Joe's Crab Shack Friends of Scouting Fundraiser, Sunday, April 7th

A reminder from Steve Smith, Patriot District Finance Vice Chair:

Joe’s Crab Shack is once again very generously hosting a fundraiser on Sunday 7 April from 12 noon to 6pm.   All you need to do is gather your family, friends and the rest of the families from your unit and come to Joe’s in Fair Lakes.  Once there eat, drink and be merry!

Joe’s will donate up to 20% of the money made during the time listed above to the Patriot District!  All you need to do is remember to bring the flyer (attached).  Be sure and give these flyers to everyone you know and invite them to come to Joe’s.

Last year we raised over $1,200, I am sure we can surpass that total this year!

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!  I look forward to seeing all of you at Joe’s on the 7th of April!
