We will also will have an ISCA booth staffed by ISCA volunteers to spread the word about ethical Collecting and Trading of Scouting memorabilia located nearby. We have our full time staff all firmed up, but can always use additional drop-in volunteer staff to help counsel the boys on some of the requirements. If you’re Terry Grove Craig Leighty going to be at the Jamboree, contact Craig Leighty (910) 233-4693 Chairman President or Jef Heckinger (815) 965-2121 and let us know. We’ll give you the details and will answer all of your questions. Board Reorganization Going Well – Still Need Some Volunteers In the last issue, we announced a reorganization of our Board and things are proceeding very well. However, we still could use some additional assistance and have a couple of spots open on the Board and several less involved positions off the Board. We have some areas that involve just a little bit of time and energy and also some that involve a bunch, so if you are even thinking about it a little, PLEASE send us an e-mail ([email protected]) or give Craig Leighty: (910) 233-4692 or Terry Grove: (321) 276-4958 a call to discuss potential ways to get more involved or to at least get your questions answered.
