What a blessing to have our own Chaplain Chip Turner blaze the trail for so much work to be accomplished at Philmont. From the Protestant Chapel in base camp along with PTC, to the back country: Ponil, Cimarroncito, Miners Park, Beaubien, and a brand new chapel space at Indian Writings. Also, one of team helped Sandy Turner to pack the Chaplain boxes that go to each and every back country camp. They completed the work in one day!! Our ABS team was one of the best. Many thanks to all who made this such a joy in our reasonable service to God!!
Please, mark your calendars for the ABS annual meeting at 2:00 p.m. edt in Atlanta, GA. It will be hosted by John Lyon at the Atlanta Area Council Service Center, 1800 Circle 75 Parkway SE.
If you are attending the National Annual Meeting, it will have concluded right before lunch. You will have time to eat and then make your way to the Service Center.
If you cannot attend in person, John will have Zoom access for you all. We realize this afternoon timing will be a bit of a challenge unless you can attend in person. However, we had to work with the needs of those traveling in and out of Atlanta. Thank you for your understanding and adapting to this time frame.
See the attached slate of proposed officers. We will be voting on these Scouters who come from the nominating committee.
Please, let me know if you will be able to attend the meeting, either in person or via electronically. We will send out the ID and PW as we approach the date.
There will be annual reports from several areas of our Association. You will hear about New Testaments at the High Adventure Bases, Philmont Chapel work in 2022 and 2023, Jamboree 2023 work, Chaplaincy work at Philmont and Jamboree and more.
We have a booth in the Duty to God Activity Area at the 2023 Jamboree. We are in a 20 by 20 space on the end of one of the three tents.
One of our youth staff at the Baptist Booth is showing scouts how to make a bracelet. Each bead color represents steps in our walk with God.
We are promoting the Religious Awards for ScoutsBSA in our Baptist Booth. Our staff will ask if they have their God and Country award and explain what they are and how they get started.
