Welcome to eDish with Commish, a quick way to get some timely information out into the hands of folks who need it.

Join Me!

eDish is a companion to a new casual gathering I am calling "Dish with Commish" which will be held on the 4th Saturday of each month. This month we will gather at the Panera Bread on SR 434 in Longwood starting at 8:30 a.m. until about 10:00 a.m.  This will be an informal, "come as you are," dutch treat, chance for scouters to get some questions answered by a member of their District Key 3. Feel free to pass this along to any of your unit leaders who may be interested in attending.

Our next "Dish" will be held Saturday, August 27th.

School Nights are happening all over Seminole County. Randy and the membership team are at schools during the day handling morning announcements, passing out flyers, and encouraging the next generation of Scouts to join us.

We hope all Pack Leaders will help with the school nights in your area. You should have received an email from Randy back in July with your specific school nights, and activities for you to do that night.

If you don't know when you specific school night is scheduled, feel free to contact me.

Yes! There will be an IOLS course conducted this Fall by the Seminole Springs Training Team.

The course will be held the weekend of September 23rd, at will  be at the newly remodeled Group camp site at La-No-Che.

Combine that with the Scoutmaster & Assistant position specific training on Saturday October 8th, and you can quickly become a "trained" Scoutmaster or Assistant Scoutmaster!

(Of course, there are other courses being held this fall by other districts as well, if these dates don't work for you - you can get that information from the Central Florida Council web site.)
