Page 1 MARCH 2020 NEWSLETTER Eagle Scout Recognition Dinner a Special Event The Moraine Trails Council board and staff are looking forward to recognizing the Eagle Scout Class of 2019 on March 19th at the White Barn, Prospect. This year’s guest speaker is accomplished local Butler Attorney Tom King, III. The firm of Dillon, McCandless, King, Coulter & Graham has been a long-time supporter and counsel for the Moraine Trails Council, BSA. Attorney King is an Eagle Scout with an important message he would like to share with our new Eagle class. The 2019 Eagle Scout Class is free to attend and will receive a commemorative patch for their class if they attend. The evening culminates in a memorable ceremony. Scouts and other attendees must register online. We hope troop leaders will help us promote this special evening. Registration closes March 15. Only 4% of all Scouts reach the rank of Eagle. Celebrate the best that Scouting has to offer! Guardian Knight Youth Protection Recognition The Moraine Trails Council will continue to deliver a safe and high-quality Scouting experience for Scouts and their families. The purpose of the program is to recognize unit leaders and committee chairs who make youth protection and safety a top priority in their unit through education of unit leadership by using the Guardian Knight Program in the unit. A special patch is awarded to leaders who complete these simple requirements. Qualifications: 1. All leaders in the unit take the BSA Youth Protection online training during Youth Protection/Child Abuse Prevention month this April. 2. The unit leader and committee chair have attended basic training for their position or completed online training (Pack and Crew leaders). 3. Complete the Guardian Knight form online and the unit leader will be presented the patch at the Council Program Kick-off or mailed to them if they miss the kick-off.
