Shave the Beard!
Old Colony FOS Fundraiser. Mike Perry is putting his beard on the line. Make a donation from now until the December 12th Roundtable and if your donation is the highest you get to choose what color Mike will dye his beard. Sunday before the January Roundtable of January 9th Mike will dye the beard. We will post pictures on the Old Colony Facebook page. At Roundtable the largest donation from December 12th until January 9th will have the honor of using clippers to remove Mikes beard or appoint someone to do so. The final shave will be done by Mike or a professional barber. Mike doesn't trust us with a blade. Our goal is to raise $1000. Come and join in on the fun.

Old Colony District - Scout College 2019
Upper Pittsgrove Twp. School
Saturday, February 9 & February 23, 2019
8:3O AM-3:OO PM
The Old Colony District, under the Garden State Boy Scout Council, is proudly offering the annual Scout College program to our scouts and leaders. Several new merit badges are being introduced this year which scouts can pick from as well as the old favorites. Not all programs will earn merit badges, for example Den Chief Training, but all programs will provide information to enhance the scouting experience in both scouts and adults. We suggest all units who have Life scouts to encourage their scouts to take the Eagle Packet Planning to help them on their journey of earning the Eagle rank as they begin to plan their Eagle Project. For the adults, we will be offering Life to Eagle Training for Leaders, Eagle Mentors, Committee Chair, Advancement Chairs etc. to give you a better understanding of the entire process so you will be more prepared to help and guide the scouts along the way.
These classes are very informational to both scouts and leaders, but they tend to fill up quickly. Please take the time to read about the requirements, which period the classes will be offered and the registration information.
