A new year is great starting point for new opportunities. But, be- fore we forget about 2017, I thought it would be a good idea to look back at the year and mention a handful of highlights. Welcome 1 100th Anniversary: Obviously, the biggest was the 100th Anniversary of the Upcoming Events 2 Council. When we first started discussing this milestone a few years ago, I looked around to find what other councils who have turned 100 had done to celebrate. Council News 3-4 The one thing that became clear is that there aren’t many other “100 year old’s” out there.

Training Corner 7 Youth Protection Training: As of today, National has adopted the same policy, but to keep our kids and adults safe, we mandated that our leadership be youth Dellaykee District Update 8 protection trained before becoming registered. I am proud to say our leaders responded and we have one of the highest percentages in the Central Region. 9 Dubuque District Update Summer Camp: While we had some weather challenges, we had another great year of attendance at Camp C.S. Klaus. Troops from several spots in the midwest Exploring & Marketing 10 enjoyed a week at camp. However, one of the biggest reasons for the camp’s 11 success is that our council Troops support it year after year. Trading Post None of these things would be possible without the commitment and hard work 12 In Gratitude by our volunteer leadership. Whether it be someone who was a leader 50 years New Eagle Scouts ago or today, everyone who has volunteered for Scouting in NE Iowa has played a part in providing the best character education program available.
