The UMW (United Methodist Women) at Keller UMC will host the annual Sharing the Joy event this weekend, November 13-14, 2021.   This is an alternative gift market, to support local and international non-profit and fair-trade organizations. It will be in the Family Life Center (FLC). Keller UMC has asked our Units for volunteers to help the vendors unload cars and bring in their goods on Saturday morning, 8–10 am.  And then do the reverse on Sunday afternoon, 1:30 – 3 pm.  Service hours will be awarded.  Please observe normal YPT practices. Please sign up on the link below.     volunteersignup.org/Q39DB   This is not a heavy lift – if we have 5-6 Scouts on each day, it will be perfect. 

Veterans Day originated as “Armistice Day” on Nov. 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I. Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance, and Nov. 11 became a national holiday beginning in 1938. A celebration to honor America's veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good. Today we pay homage and give thanks to all of those who have served this great nation of ours from the United States Navy to the United States Army to the United States Air Force to the United States Marine Corps to the United States Coast Guard and each branch of reserves. Scouting has a history rich in military service as well.  Robert Baden-Powell, the father of Boy Scouts, was a British officer with a long military career.  Much he learned along the way in his military career directly correlated with how he established scouting.  As it stands, many of our current military academies are home to a consider...

     The Fall Court of Honor has been moved from 11/8 to 11/15.   Two of our area high school bands (KHS and TCHS) are going to the state competition and as such, many of our scouts would miss.  It was decided at the 11/1 meeting to reschedule the Court of Honor to 11/15. Therefore, please make plans to join us then to celebrate those who have advanced in rank and/or earned merit badges and awards in the past quarter.  

Although you can take most training courses for just about everything needed online through the my.Scouting portal,  nothing  beats tribal knowledge and networking when it comes to training.  Something you will hear many of us tenured leaders say is that "every Scout deserves a well-trained leader!"   If you are new to Scouting, new in a particular Scouting volunteer position, or perhaps you want to step up to offer assistance in a supporting role, the University of Scouting will have courses offered for just about everything under the sun from the basics in Cub Scouts to becoming an Eagle mentor. Saturday, November 20  is the Longhorn Council's University of Scouting. If you haven't registered, there is still time to pick your courses and make a day of it. Check out the Event Guide  HERE Early bird pricing ($25) for registration ends October 31. Late registration ($30) is from November 1-15. Walk-in registration is $35 In-person courses are at Tarrant...
