University of Scouting for the Great Salt Lake Council will be held Saturday, December 6th, 2008 at Murray High School. Additional details here. This will be my 3rd year attending University of Scouting.  Last year I earned my "Masters Degree" and I've completed 2 or my 3 "tickets" for my Ph D. so far.  There are a lot of helpful classes taught there. My first year in attendance I went to the Varsity Leader Specific Training, which helped me to gain a better understanding of the Varsity Scouts which at the time I oversaw.  At the time that was all of the training that was required of me, but they encouraged us to attend Wood Badge. That very day I went home and signed up for Wood Badge.  My responsibilities within the Varsity organization have also changed and I'm now the Coach, which meant additional training, which I've since completed. I went to University of Scouting last year and was able to focus on many of the other Varsity Scout related items.  I haven't seen the schedule for this year (yet) but I'm sure that I will continue to do the same.

Pow Wow will also be held for the Cub Scout leaders at Juan Diego High School on November 8th and 15th. Additional details here. If you're in the council I highly recommend that you attend the appropriate event.
