OA High Adventure 2010 Applications
I am pleased to announce that the 2010 applications for OA Trail Crew, OA Wilderness Voyage, and OAWV: Canadian Odyssey, have been posted to the high adventure website, www.adventure.oa-bsa.org . There will be 9 sessions of each program, including the new Canadian Odyssey Voyage, running from early June through mid-August. The OA Ocean Adventure program is currently being revised to give Arrowmen the opportunity to leave an even greater impact on the areas Sea Base serves, at a lower cost to the participants. Details about the program, as well as the application, will be available later this summer.

September NLS & NLATS Registration Now Open
The Registration forms for both a National Leadership Seminar and National Lodge Adviser Training Seminar have been published. Copies have been sent to the Lodge & Section Key 3, as well as Council Scout Executives.
Both of these seminars will take place at Alpine Scout Camp in Alpine, NJ during the weekend of September 25-27, 2009. Make sure you submit your registrations in early as these programs tend to fill up rather quickly.
The deadline for registration is Friday, September 4, 2009. As the NLS’s traditionally fill up, those registering after the deadline will not normally be able to attend, as we do have a size cut-off due to educational and facility limitations.
