Unit performance in the key areas of membership, camping, leader training, advancement and community service significantly impacts unit's and their district’s record in the Scouting Journey to Excellence. Units can track their Journey to Excellence in 2017 using Scorecards available for Packs, Troops, and Crews. Unit commissioners are available and interested in helping each unit achieve excellence in service to youth. Not sure who is your unit commissioner contact your District Commissioner or Executive. More Message from our Community Impact Director In addition to the Journey to Excellence, there are three items I want to share with you this month as we serve our community, youth and Scouting. 1. Invest in Character (formerly Friends of Scouting) family campaign is in full swing. Presenters are visiting Pack nights, Blue and Gold Dinners, Courts of Honor, and unit meetings. If your unit has not had a presentation yet, I am sure it is scheduled. If you may be interested in being a presenter this year, please reach out to your District FOS or Finance Chair, or your District Executive. 2. The Lion Program is being rolled out this fall, but much work is going on right now to make sure we make a big impact come fall. District Executives, with the help of their Membership teams, are visiting schools and talking to superintendents letting them know about this exciting new program we will be offering to Kindergarten boys in the fall. 3. SAVE THE DATE—Thursday September 14 is our next Blast into Scouting night. That will be the night we will want volunteers in every school in our community and council. If you are interested in helping that night, please reach out to your District Executive or Membership Chair.

  • Celebrating 150 Years in the Heart of White Plains the Sabbatical
    SUMMER 2016 Celebrating 150 Years in the Heart of White Plains The Sabbatical Pastor’s Letter Change and the Promise of Pentecost May 2016 There is an old joke about people not liking change. The joke is that the only people who like change are toll collectors and babies with wet diapers. You can tell it’s an old joke because toll collectors have disappeared with the invention of EZ Pass. Babies still need to be changed. Change is difficult. Transitions in life can be powerful and uncomfortable moments. They are challenging even when we think we are prepared for them. They can be even more unsettling when they ambush us unaware. Henri Bergson, a French philosopher once wrote, “To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly.” Change is a fact of life. Change is a consequence of our being alive. We might even say that change is a necessary condition for our growth and maturity. Yet coming to terms with all of the emotional undercurrents that go along with change is not always easy for us. Putting a little one on a school bus for the first time can bring a parent to tears. Seeing your child attend his or her first prom makes you wonder where the time has flown. Retiring after years of productive and fulfilling work can bring unexpected feelings of vulnerability and emptiness. Although change is constant and inevitable we can still feel insecure and anxious about the uncertainty that change brings. Until my retirement in 2013, I served as the Canon for Deployment and Transition Ministry in the Episcopal Diocese of New York.
