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 will mean for the balance of 2009, instead
of the current May/June/July, August, September, October and
November/December issues, we will go with a bi-monthly schedule
of May/June, July/August, September/October and
November/December.
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.

Patch Yahoo Group.
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.
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!
