Troop 911's Webelos Weekend is an adventure designed to introduce Webelos Scouts and their parents to the thrilling Scouting adventures ahead and to help them make the transition into Boy Scouting exciting. The weekend is filled with fun activities, intriguing demonstrations, and plenty of outdoor excitement. Our theme this year is Fishing and Fish & Wildlife Management.
Troop 911 is inviting all 1st and 2nd year Webelos to attend. Troop 911 is a boy-led troop. Unlike Cub Scouts, the boys make the decisions and provide the leadership. Adults are there to give advice and to assure safety. The Webelos Scouts will be assigned to Patrols for the weekend so that they can experience a model Boy Scout Troop campout led by experienced Boy Scouts. Parents will be given an orientation on Boy Scouting, have a relaxing weekend campout, and have a chance to meet many of Troop 911's adult leaders, while their Webelos participate in troop activities.
When: November 21-23
Where: Castaic Lake recreation area, 32132 Castaic Lake Dr., Castaic, CA 91384
We will meet on Friday evening at 6 pm at Northridge United Methodist Church, 9650 Reseda Blvd., Northridge, CA 91324. The cross streets are Reseda and Superior.

Shofar Award nominations
To the Western Los Angeles County Council Scouting Community:
Nominations are now being sought, and will be accepted in writing only until December 15, 2008, for the Shofar Award of the National Jewish Committee on Scouting.
The National Jewish Committee on Scouting established the Shofar Award to recognize outstanding service by adults in the promotion of Scouting among Jewish youth. Just as the Shofar (Ram's Horn) calls people to the service of G-d, so the Shofar Award is a recognition of the individual who has answered the call to serve Jewish youth in Scouting.
All information and forms for the nomination are available online. (Please note that the Western Los Angeles County Council Jewish Committee on Scouting obtains and pays for the award. You will not need to send money with the application. )
Send your written nominations by US Mail for receipt by December 15, 2008 to:
David I. Karp
Shofar Award Subcommittee Chairman, Council JCOS
13818 Cumpston Street
Sherman Oaks, CA 91401-5818
After December 15, 2008, a committee comprised of Shofar Award recipients in Western Los Angeles County Council will meet and decide on the next class of Shofar Award recipients. After private letters of congratulations are sent to the awardees, the new recipients' names will be publicized. The awards will be presented at the recipient's synagogue or at an appropriate Scouting function.
Yours in Scouting,
David I. Karp
Shofar Award Subcommittee Chairman, Council JCOS
