Check out our new calendar!  We are now using Google Calendar for all posted district and council events.  Click on idividual events to view details.  Where locations are listed, you can view a map that will give you directions from your house.  Many events link to registration pages after clicking on "more details".   You can also choose to sync the entire calendar or individual events to your mobile device or to your outlook calendar!  This calendar will be our main planning calendar for the year and will be updated regularly.  New print options allow you to print the range of your preference. 

You do not need to have a Google account to access the calendar, but having a Google account will give you more capabilities.  If you don't have a Google account, you can sign up for one for free.  Just click on the Google Calendar button at the bottom right corner of the calendar.
