Al and Chris Hanna established a scholarship fund to help support the education of Eagle Scouts attending college.  This is a great way to support our Scouts who are preparing for their future through furthering their education!  

The Al and Chris Hanna Eagle Scout Scholarship Award is open to all Eagle Scouts currently registered with Samoset Council and who have demonstrated leadership in Scouting and outside of Scouting.  Al’s and Chris’s generosity allowed us to award 10 scholarships last year. Samoset Council is now accepting 2018 applications with a due date of December 15th, 2017.

The Silver Beaver Award was introduced in 1931 and is a council-level distinguished service award of the Boy Scouts of America.  Recipients of this award are registered Scouters who have made an impact on the lives of youth through service given to the council. To prevent embarrassment, the candidate should not be notified of this nomination.  The nomination form is due December 15! Samoset Council, 3511 Camp Phillips Rd, Weston WI 54476, you may also fax the signed nomination form to 715-355-9849 or email to smiley@samoset.org.

Advancement is the method by which we promote and encourage the ongoing involvement and commitment that keeps members coming back for more. It works best when it is built into a unit’s program so that simply participating leads to meaningful achievement and recognition—and to a continually improving readiness for more complex experiences.

Samoset Council uses advancement results in local media stories and council reports.  This information is also shared with foundations, donors and our United Way partners.  Therefore, it is important that we have the most up to date information.  As we near the end of the year, we encourage units to turn in any outstanding advancement reports.  

To help update our records you will recieve a phone call form the support staff to verify current ranks for your Scouts.  If you have any questions about this proecess, please contact the Samoset Council office at 715-355-1450.

Scouts helping Vets! 

For Veteran's Day, Packs 290 and 248 from the Mushkodany Disctrict served ice cream, filled water cups, handed out cookies and rolls at the Golden Corral in Plover. Some of the Scouts helped serve drinks as the guests came in as well as handing out Thank you cards made graciously by Digicopy. Part of our Scout’s mission is to give back and they work hard every day to make sure they're continuing to understand the importance of the values in action as well as the importance of serving the community. 

Are you looking for something to do with your Pack, Troop or Crew this winter? Join us for Winter Camp and enjoy the winter wonderland of Wisconsin.  Registration for 2018 opens September 1st. Contact Samoset Camping at 715-365-3111 for more information.
