MALLOY GOVERNOR STATE OF CONNECTICUT Dear State Employee/Retiree, Despite challenging economic times, thousands of you stepped up last year and made a commitment to helping others in need. The more than $1.7 million that the nonprofit community received through your contributions to the 2010 Connecticut State Employees’ Campaign (CSEC) supports a multitude of local and global charitable causes. The impact that your generosity has on our state, our nation and the world is immeasurable. Be assured that every dollar pledged to the CSEC changes the life of a person that you may never meet, but is better off because of you. As we embrace the campaign’s theme of “Caring for Connecticut...and Beyond” we are hopeful that our support will mean a better and brighter future for our residents and those living in other areas of the world. The hundreds of charitable organizations that are listed in the campaign directory can help us fulfill this goal. Please consider a gift to the 2011 campaign and support charities that provide critically needed services, so together we can build a better tomorrow. Sincerely, Dannel P.

  • Join the Jamboree Venturing Crew from Area 2!
    JOIN THE JAMBOREE VENTURING CREW FROM AREA 2! The 24th World Scout Jamboree will be hosted by the three nations of North America – Mexico, Canada, and the United States at the Summit Bechtel Reserve in West Virginia from July 21 to August 2, 2019. UNLOCK A NEW WORLD, for young people ages 14 to 17 years from all 166 National Scout Organizations. The BSA contingent will include 10,000 people — the largest contingent the BSA has ever sent to a World Jamboree. 80 % of the participants will come from over 160 countries, with co-ed units just like Crews! The World Scout Jamboree has special programs for participants to learn about different cultures, sustainability, peace and community service. These activities are intended to give participants an opportunity to learn new things and to build new friendships. The focus is more on meeting people from different cultures and countries than doing high-adventure activities. Sure, you will have plenty of opportunities to zip-line, kayak, and ride mountain bikes, but you will also have many opportunities to meet new friends and learn what Scouting and life is like in other countries. To be eligible to be a Venturing youth participant at the 24th World Scout Jamboree you must be born between 22 July 2001 and 21 July 2005 (no exceptions to this). If you are older on the given dates of the Jamboree, you may be able to apply to become member of the International Service Team. The fee for participants and leaders for contingent crews in the Northeast Region will be $ 2,500 for Venturing Youth and Leaders (includes travel from a designated hub) and $ 1,800 for ISTs (no travel included).

  • CYC Family Scouting – What's New
    CYC Family Scouting – What’s New, What’s Next As of September 7, 2018 by Jay Lubin, Council Vice President for Membership The purpose of this memo is to update Leaders on Family Scouting in Connecticut Yankee Council. Cub Scouts What’s Next: You can recruit girls and boys into your Cub Scout Packs NOW. If your Pack was not part of the Early Adoption Program, please obtain the approval of your Chartered Organization (Chartered Organization Representative), before registering girls in the Pack. Many Chartered Organizations have been contacted by the Service Area Executives and most have agreed to welcome girls. Check with your COR to confirm. Depending on the decision by your Pack’s Chartered Organization, Packs can welcome all youth members into the Pack (boys and girls), from kindergarten through 5th grade, starting NOW. Under the Early Adoption Program initiated in January 2018, there were some “special” requirements put in place to help control aspects of the introduction of girls into Cub Scouts. Any “special” requirements related to Early Adoption NO LONGER APPLY: a. Separate dens by gender: This was not a “special” requirement. Boy dens must be separate from girl dens. Boys and girls cannot be members of the same den. b. Girl and boy Den Leaders: While not a requirement, a single den leader can lead both a girl and a boy den. The girl and boy dens can meet at the same time, and same place. Girl and boy dens can work together on the same adventures at the same time. c. Minimum den size: There is no minimum den size, for girls or boys.
