What is the eNavigator you ask? 

Navigator Going Greener

The combination of a challenging economy, concern for better stewardship of paper/resources as well as the opportunity to utilize technology for more timely communications have converged to make for some upcoming changes to our Navigator newsletter.  The number of paper issues will be reduced from nine to eight per year.

This reduction in print will be more than offset by an increase in electronic communications with the debut of an e-Newsletter Version of the Navigator this summer. It will be more than a PDF of the paper version, but instead will have brief news items with links to details that readers can select based on their interest. It will have a number of versions and readers will have the opportunity to subscribe to the categories they choose.

Dan Patch has a new communication tool for volunteers. It is a yahoo group called Dan Patch.  This is a great opportunity to stay informed about upcoming training events, activities, promotions, and keeping in contact with each other. The following are some instructions on how to go about doing this.     Instructions to joining Dan Patch Yahoo Group 
You need an email address and a free Yahoo Groups account.   
Go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DanPatch follow the instructions on setting up the free account and joining the group. It is really easy to do and the instructions are pretty straight forward.
Help Wanted.
Are you interested in getting involved in a different level of Scouting?  Do you have organizational skills you are dying to use?  Do you have ideas for campouts or activities that you would like to see used?  Do you love Scouting and want to help out wherever needed?  Or do you just like to get involved and contribute?  If the answer to any of these questions is YES, then we are looking for you.  The district is a place where many things in Scouting happen and we are in need of some people to take on some of these important roles.  Extensive Scouting experience is not required, only a desire to help make some great things happen!  Contact Ryan McDonald

Northern Star Council's Diversity Patch

Patch is for all Scouts and Scouters to earn!

It is the hope of the Diversity Committee in creating this patch that the council will serve as an example of inclusiveness and create cultural awareness and understanding at all levels of Scouting.

There are four different levels of the patch:

  • Cub Scouts and Webelos
  • Boy Scouts under age 14
  • Boy Scouts age 14 and older, and Venturers
  • Adults
