This weekend was another highly successful round of Staff development at Mataguay.  With less than one month until the first meeting with Course Participants, all Staffers were focused on refining the plans, practicing our parts, and preparing every detail.  It was serious work!

But also, all Staffers looked forward to simply being together again, helping each other in our tasks, and sharing laughs along the way.  So, while I sincerely meant it when I told everyone that I'm very glad to be a part of this Staff, it really was an echo of what each Staffer was also thinking and saying.

The secret seems to be that, much like how adults of units have the common thread of wanting to help the Scouts, the Staff recognized our common thread of wanting to help the Course Participants.  You are our focus and our greatest motivation because of all you do for your units.

With our 30-day Pre-Course meeting coming up soon on April 13th, I can imagine you're getting excited.  Just know that we are too.  So, in the meantime, continue your preparations as we continue ours too.

And, I look forward to meeting each and every one of you soon.

- your Course Scribe, Mike

If you (the participants) haven't noticed yet, Mike is our number one cheerleader for the course though he has some stiff competition from 16 more dedicated scouters who are looking forward to sharing the Wood Badge experience with you. We are really enjoying each other's company as we build our team. Get ready for a great time! - Mary
