Blue Ridge Council's first BIG anniversary event in 2010 will be our Blue Ridge Council Scout Weekend at the Upcountry History Museum, 540 Buncombe St.

This year's banquet is being held in the activity center of the Central Presbyterian Church located on Boulevard near Cater's Lake. This is the district's Banquet honoring Eagles,Arrow of Lights, and adult leaders from 2009. This banquet is when we all come together and award our best! There will be good food and a slide show hosted by Hugh Oldham who is the "voice" for many of the Air show events in the southeast region.

Hope everyone had fun at Trailshead Tuesday night. I hope I got at least one picture of everyone...I tried!! Sorry my battery ran out of juice and I couldn't get more (guess I wasn't Prepared!) Anyway, pictures are now loaded so go take a peek.

I believe this lock-in was a success-12 boys came with 2 of them visitors. The boys seemed to enjoy themselves and 4 of them have a story to tell about the cold night in the tent!! Plus, we had a good showing for Scout Sunday. Thank you guys for coming and a special thanks to Jim Savley and Bobby Brock for the gaming equipment. Also, thanks to Bobby, Chuck and Charlean for providing leadership.

We will meet at Little Pigs BBQ at 1pm to decorate the float. Bring your camp chair with you or you will be sitting on the trailer. The parade starts at 3pm. We are float #39. If you have any extra decorations bring them with you.
