Operation ON Target!
The Varsity Scout Operation On-target will take place on the tradional third Saturday in September. This is the only national event in the VARSITY PROGRAM. Please plan to be involved on September 15, 2012. The plan is for the action to begin at 9am and last until 12pm (MST). Every Team should be involved in this program in some way. Operaiton On-target is a time of introspection for Varsity Scouts and Teams to make sure they are "On Target". Teams should begin now by making plans to reach the top of the peak of choice. Then by actually ascending to that peak, participaing in the activity, and then spending a few minutes in reflection to determine if they are on course. This will allow them to identify and impliment changes that might be necessary to keep them "On Target" in the next year. This should be the Coaches great opportunity for a teaching moment! Take advantage of it by signing up now... The best peaks go early!!!!.
On Target Registration will open about May 1st...

SPECIAL NOTICE ABOUT THE MORMON BATTALION TRAIL!!!
Many Scouts and Varsity Scouts visit and camp on the Mormon Battalion Trail each year. Due to excessive OHV usage the BLM has closed the area for all entry and camping. There has been an exception made however for Scouts who meet certain conditions. This Informational Flyer provides the detials. Since we are approaching the season when the Scouts will be going out to the trail, it is important follow the rules and don't attempt to just go out on your own, as you have been able to do in the past. If you do use the area without permission, as described in the flyer, you will be subject to some serious fines and could even jeopardize the current arrangement.
