| Scout-O-Rama |
Updated on May 15th, 2008 |
In one of the best events ever put on by the Council, Scout-O-Rama drew 7,230 visitors to Cantigny for a day of fun and food. Setting the tone for the day was the dramatic entrance of an 800 square foot American flag, carried to the ground by the Windy City Skydivers and then posted by the Marmion Cadets. Over 125 different activities, and 7 different food vendors, kept everyone busy. Even the weather cooperated. If you didn't attend, you missed an outstanding event. For pictures and more on the event, check out the Council website at www.threefirescouncil.org. Our hats off to everyone who helped to make this such a successfull event, particularly Stan Smolucha and Dan Zedan. WELL DONE! |

| Unit Charters & Centennial Awards |
Updated on February 12th, 2008 |
I would like to thank all the units Committee Chairs for all their time spent getting the charters in on time. I want each and every unit to submit a Centennial Award goal sheet for the year. This helps District and Council personnel to evaluate the program and get the units the help they need. It is not too late to submit one of these forms. If you need help please call me or one of our Commissioners. The Commissioner Corp did an unbelievable job of tracking down signatures and charters. They all provided vitally important support to the units they serve. If you see these folks please acknowledge their job well done. The Commissioners are Don Elwood, Fran Kravitz, Bill Krenicki, Dennis Roberson, Gerry Senn, John Schreiber and Mike Zenisek. I really appreciate the help these folks provide to each and every unit. They do it for the Scouts! Thanks once again to the Commissioners. Chanonee District Commissioner Mike Koehne

| Training Chair Position Open |
Updated on January 14th, 2008 |
| As you may have noticed, the District has had to cancel the last two Training opportunities due to the lack of a Training Chairman. Although there is paperwork that needs to be completed to insure that participants get credit for attneding their classes, actual training time works out to be only four to five Saturdays a year. Syllabus' and training materials are made up and provided by both the Council and District. Further, both Mike Koehne and Dan Zedan are willing to train anyone wishing to take on this critical responsibility as well as to assist them with the various training sessions. Anyone interested in filling this critical and very satisfying position should contact either Mike Koehne or Dan Zedan. |
