Upcoming Calendar Events
Important Announcements
Youth Protection
Please take the time to take the new youth protection training. Youth Protection must be done by 9/30/18. A bit more info below from our council
The Boy Scouts of America introduced a new and vastly improved Youth Protection Training (YPT) program in February 2018. This new program is so improved and profoundly different that every registered adult is required to take it by 9/30/18. This is regardless as to the expiration date shown on your existing YPT certificate. In fact, BSA has modified the expiration dates of any YPT taken before 2/2/18 to September 30, 2018.
The new “YPT 2.0” can be taken on-line

Religious Emblem
Christ Church Cranbrook ("CCC") is offering a program for the Protestant faiths. The Protestant Series includes Baptist, Episcopal, Lutheran, Methodist, Non-Denominational and Presbyterian faiths.
- God & Life (grades 9-12) has begun, but it's not too late to join. The next meeting for God & Life is September 30 @ 11:30am.
- God & Church (grades 6-8) will start meeting on October 28 @ 11:30am.
Please let Mr. Heverly or Mr. Kostal know if you are interested in the programs at CCC. If you are interested in a faith outside the protestant faith, we can put you in touch with the right person. Please speak with Mr. Kostal about this topic if you are interested.
