Scouting for Food pick up is tomorrow – stay tuned for the results! Food will be set out at 8 a.m. and picked up after 9.

Vehicles may still use the garage door but pedestrians please use the front door.

The Ne-i-Yahw Chapter is doing a Flag Retirement Ceremony at the Montana Council offices. We, as the Lewis & Clark District Committee, invite you to the flag retirement ceremony and to join the Lewis & Clark District to an open house in lieu of our regular meeting.
We encourage you to come to bring your Packs, Troops, and families to both the ceremony and the open house and meet your District volunteers.
Partially due to the fact that July’s District Committee Meeting is canceled, we are introducing the Digital District Report! I hope you like this format.
I want to hear what you think! Reply to this email or leave a comment on the post on the District Blog!

With the District Pinewood Derby check-in the evening of May 4th, the District Banquet has been rescheduled to May 18th at 6:30 PM at the Salvation Army Center 1000 17th Ave. S. in Great Falls.
This is a free event and all Scouts, Scouters and their families are welcome to attend. This event is our opportunity to celebrate Scouting in the Lewis & Clark District for the past year. It is also the time to recognize our Unit and District Scouters for the hard, dedicated work that they have put in serving our Scouts. Please take the time to recognize these adults, by nominating them for any of the following awards; District Award of Merit, Unit Leader Award of Merit, Scouters Key, Scouters Training Award. The nomination forms can be found at “Awards Central” located at scouting.org/awards. Please submit all nomination forms to the L&C District Advancement and Recognition Chairman, Brad Weaver, by May 4th. He can be contacted by email at brad.weaver@scouting.org.
All packs and Troops are asked to be represented by their Unit Key 3. The Unit Key 3 consists of the Chartered Organization Representative (or Institutional Head), Committee Chair and the Cubmaster / Scoutmaster. In order to provide enough food, please RSVP with Brad Weaver no later than May 11th.
Please mark your calendars and plan on bringing the whole family!
Due to a lack of track and volunteers, the 2018 district pinewood derby has been canceled.
Per announcements beginning early December, via this newsletter, district meetings, roundtables, and district calendar, we needed support from our Cub units in setting up a track and a few to assist with weigh-ins and running the cars. In order to adequately prepare, we had until January 20th to have volunteers come forward. That, unfortunately did not happen.
Hopefully we will be able to resume the races for our Scouts in 2019!
