Thank you, Patti!


District Executive Transition Lake Minnetonka District Executive Patti Czech has decided to leave the BSA profession; her last day will be November 15.


Patti joined the Northern Star Council in June, 2006 and held professional positions in the Three Rivers and Lake Minnetonka Districts. She is a Broth- erhood member of the Order of the Arrow and completed Wood Badge – for which she is very proud to claim being an “Eagle”.


Lake Minnetonka District attained Quality District status every year she has been the district executive. The Lake Minnetonka district committee has grown to nearly 100 leaders, and has more youth Scouts than any other district in the Northern Star Council.


Scouting will still be a part of the Czech family household, as her sons are still very active in Scouting. Thank you, Patti – for all you have done for Scouting.


Bob Thielen, Field Director Northern Star Council, BSA

Teri Fick (second from left), recipient of the 3M Community Volunteer Award. Training, Training, Training…


Over 60 leaders were trained on Oct 15th and 16th helping to ensure a great program for the youth in the district. With many leaders attending OLS and BALOO we will see lots of scouts bringing the “OUTING” into Scouting. Thanks to all those leaders for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend the training and to all the staff that took part in presenting the materials. If you are not yet trained for your position, be sure to check the training page at www.northernstarbsa.org or plan to attend the Uof S on Oct 29th at Brooklyn Jr. High in Brooklyn Park.


At the time of this writing we are putting the final touches to scheduling boy talks and printing flyers for follow up recruit- ment events. We are still looking for 211 Cub Scouts and 12 Venturers to reach our membership goals. These goals are very attainable and we need everyone’s help to recruit as many kids as possible. If you have any questions please contact Beth Toutges at (612)845-7354 or Tim Anders (651)254-9128.
