Saddleback District's annual Planning Roundtable is quickly approaching. We are in need of volunteers to help setup, guide our vendors to their tables, and greet attendees and distribute raffle tickets. If your unit has volunteers who would like to help then please click here to sign up. Thank you for helping make this year's event a big success!

As discussed during April's District Roundtable, the current guidebook for Outdoor Ethics is available here. Please go through the book with your Scouts as well as your fellow leaders, and bring questions you have to our May Roundtable. Also, the Leave No Trace awareness course can be found here, and Tread Lightly awareness course can be found here.

The National Order of the Arrow Conference (NOAC) is the premier event of the Order of the Arrow, and is Scouting’s second-largest national event. Over 10,000 Arrowmen from across our nation gather for an inspirational and unforgettable experience full of fellowship, training, adventure, and fun!

During NOAC, Arrowmen will participate in a six-day conference which includes top notch training sessions, cool recreational opportunities, evening shows full of theatrics and special effects, and exciting programs.

5 youth spaces are available which will be filled on a first come, first served basis.

Saddleback District is looking for a volunteer to take over the role of Webmaster. The duties of the position can typically be performed at the Webmaster's leisure, and they only require an internet connection and a few minutes. If you're familiar with SOAR, would just like the opportunity to assist your District, or have any questions then please contact our current webmaster, Bob Murillo, at webmaster@saddlebackdistrict.org.

It's that time of year! 

Time to make sure our MB Counselor list is up to date and all Counselors are at minimum YPT trained!

These days, higher education comes with a higher price tag. Click here for this great article posted on the BRYANONSCOUTING blog listing 8 scholarships opportunities available for Eagle Scouts.  Many people miss these opportunities, so the competition may be less than with other scholarship applications.
