Dear Patuxent Scouter,
Efforts are underway to reregister the members of the Patuxent District Committee, Commissioners and Merit Badge Counselors.
Every person reregistering in a District position must go to ncacbsa.org/districtrenewal to pay for their registration or identify whether they are registering as a multiple and what unit they are multiple from.
Positions such as membership chair, training chair, advancement chair, program chair & etc. are functional positions not paid positions. All of these individuals should be registered as an At-Large members of the District Committee. These functional position will need to be added into the My.Scouting system after the District Committee roster is processed by National.
Giving leadership to the reregistration process is Gene Eplee who is handing the reregistration of the District Committee, Mark Adams-Commissioners and Mary Pat Donals–Merit Badge Counselors
If you plan to reregister as a District Committee member, unit commissioner or merit badge counselor contact the person listed above to let them know your status. You should be registered in all the positions that you will be involved with in 2018.
Remember in order to reregister in any position your YPT must be current and should not expire before May 2018. There is no registration fee for Merit Badge Counselors, however any adult Scouter who is registered as a District Committee member or unit commissioner must be paid either with a unit or at the District Level for their respective position.
Fees
Registration: $33.00
Council Insurance Recovery Fee: $6.00
Boys’ Life: $12.00
Online payment: www.ncacbsa.org/districtrenewal
Those who are giving leadership to the District reregistration process need to hear from you promptly!
If you need to update your YPT, there will be YPT training during the next Roundtable on December 14th.
We look forward to seeing you at the December Patuxent District Roundtable on Thursday, December 14th, 2017 at Glenn Dale LDS Church, 11525 Prospect Hill Road, Glenn Dale, MD.

UPDATE – Upper Marlboro Restaurant Car Crash Interrupted Patuxent Key Three
My fellow Scouters,
Earlier today we learned that Patuxent District Commissioner Isaiah Pugh died of injuries sustained in a vehicular incident last week while he was engaging in his Scouting duties. Isiah was a Scouter of the finest quality. Fittingly, Isaiah’s final words were about Scouting, acording to Patuxent District Chair Judge Nichols.
Please share this with any of your Scouters or units who knew him.
It is possible given the high profile of this crash that you will get media inquiries; if so please pass them to Aaron Chusid or Daniel Hirsch.
We have lost one of our own today. The campfire burns a little dimmer with him gone, but the flames are warmer for the time we spent with him.

Judge Nichols (chairman), Isiah Pugh (District Commission) and Carlos Salazar were having the monthly Key 3 Meeting at a local restaurant (Top of the Hill) in Upper Marlboro on Tuesday, October 24, 2017 when the meeting was interrupted by a women who drove her vehicle into the establishment without stopping.
Needless to say that she brought the house down on top of all the patrons. Judge Nichols found himself of the bottom of the pile so to speak with Isiah on top of him and the table on top of them both. Debris from this accident struck Carlos as well.
Isiah was among the seven injured transported by Prince George’s County Fire/EMS emergency crews.
Please keep the Pugh family in you prayers as well as the others involved in the accident yesterday..

3… 2… 1… LAUNCH!
Start your school year with a BLAST! Every new Scout who registers by October 31 will receive a free model rocket! This will help both their Scouting career and a lifelong love of STEM “take off”. Launch Day events are being planned at multiple sites around our Council; find the one that’s most convenient for your family.
Six Flags Event is on October 28, 2017!
Launch Day Events will offer Rocket Building Stations (although we still recommend you build your rockets beforehand). Other fun Scouting activities will be provided and vary by location. All of our Launch Sites will provide a great time launching Rockets with your Scouts and family!
Each NEW Scout will receive a free launch engine and additional engines can be purchased for $2.
There is a $5 registration fee for each participant (youth and adults); this helps us offset the cost of the event and materials. The entire family and current Scouts are welcome, and additional rockets kits can be purchased online to built at the event.
