LEATHERSTOCKING COUNCIL

2019

ANNUAL REPORT from the council president Creating an Impact in our Community.

Let me start by saying “Thank you”. Two words we use so often but honestly mean so much. I want to thank the over 3,000 volunteers that keep alive in each one of our communities. I also want to thank our donors; without your kind donations we couldn’t support the program that is building the next generation of leaders. Without all of you our program couldn’t continue to function.

We’ve had a busy 2019. We’ve done the traditional stuff like Scouting for Food, Matthew E. Dziedzic volunteering our time at parades, completing community projects and earning a few advancements on the way. Things might look a little different now that young ladies are President with us, but we have always been a family program. From my personal experience with my daughter Maria, we’ve had a blast learning so much together. Truly, what this is all about, is finding that family bonding time we all need.

I’m proud to let you know we have had one of the largest Eagle classes in recent memory. With 70 graduates in 2019, it was awesome to see most of them at our annual Eagle Recognition Dinner. This council in proud of you and your perseverance during your journey. If you try to understand the economic impact of our Eagles alone, we donated over $148,750 back to our communities.

We continue to invest in our program annually. Currently we are trying to fund the Barnes Center at Camp Kingsley. I hope you have already heard of our plan on building a new welcome center at Kingsley. It will be the new home of the Store, Medical Lodge and your sign-in point before heading out on your adventure. We have been blessed by so many community members already that have donated to building this structure. We look forward to sharing more exciting news with you on this project in 2020.

Let me close by telling you a story I recently heard from a colleague. He shared, while raising his kids and volunteered his time to be a Den leader. Unfortunately, his career path required a move and they had to leave their current Pack. When he made the announcement to the Den of Bears, one of the children tearfully asked him not to leave. Till this day, that memory of scouting sticks in his mind the most. Sometimes we forget the impact we have on those around us. Those of you who have fond memories of your time in Scouting, please don’t forget to pay that back to the current generation in the program.

If you talk to any of our troops or packs, we always need more leaders, committee members and merit badge instructors. We talk about donating time, treasure and talent. Imagine what a few hours of your time could mean to a young man or lady in our program.

Sincerely,

Matthew E.
