Salt Marsh Nature Center

My name is Ranger John Moylett with the NYC Urban Park Rangers. On Sunday, April 18th, the Salt Marsh Nature Center will celebrate it’s 10 year anniversary, I have included the flyer for the event in this email. On that day at 10 AM we would like to host a small park clean up and we are hoping to recruit some of your members to help. I know this is last minute and I do apologize, but if you have any kids who are interested please come on by. The address to the Nature Center is 3302 Ave U, we are on Ave U and E. 33 St. in Marine Park. If you have any questions feel free to contact me by email or at my office 718-421-2021. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.

Camporee

Scout Leaders,
Yes it’s that time of year again, time for the Brooklyn Spring Camporee! And though the weather may not feel like Spring at 38 degrees outside, I assure you it’s here. The Camporee theme this year will be Communications, a valuable topic for advancement and learning. Let’s thank the whole Breukelyn Activities Committee for their dedication in putting this together. Let me know if you have any questions, thanks!

Roundtable

Scout Leaders,

Just a reminder that we have the Brooklyn Roundtable coming up on Tuesday, April 13th at the Holy Name of Jesus Church, 245 Prospect Park West at 7:30pm. On the Boy Scout side, this month’s Roundtable features a Forestry section lead by Mr. Tony Pinnavaia. On the Cub Scout side, this month Kathy Keats will be back with us running her always informative and fun Cub Scout program.  Additionally, we will have the latest information and registration forms for this year’s Spring Camp-O-Ree, taking place April 30th- May 2nd at Camp Pouch. I hope to see you all at this month’s Roundtable, it’s always a great opportunity to catch up and exchange ideas!

Brooklyn Council on Facebook!

Scout Leaders,

I’m excited to announce the creation of our very own Brooklyn Council Facebook Page! For those of you not familiar with a Facebook Fan Page, it’s a place for Leaders and Scouts to get Event updates, look at pictures from the most recent District Activities, and share their ideas with other volunteers. If you’re already on Facebook, I encourage you to become a Fan of Brooklyn Council, Boy Scouts of America, by following the below link. If you’re not on Facebook yet, I would encourage you to sign up, it’s the most interactive way to share and enhance your Scouting experience on the web! If you have any questions or would like to make suggestions about the content we feature on the Fan Page, email me back at the email address in my signature. Thanks!

Hope you are all doing well as Spring quickly approaches. Just wanted to let you all know about a few opportunities up at Camp Keowa this summer for your Scouts to work up at Camp. Feel free to distribute the attached flier out to your leaders, and any Scouts that might be interested.
