The history of YOUR Council is now available.This is a book that several "more experienced" Scouters have been working on since the year 2000. The book covers the origin of the Mahoning Valley Council, the Northeast Ohio Council, and the Western Reserve Council through the merge into the Greater Western Reserve Council and up to the year 2000. It has been an extremely interesting project; I have learned a lot while putting this book together. I hope to print updates to this original edition in the future; get the first edition while it is available.

EXPOX, A BSA Centennial Celebration, will be held at the Geauga County Fairgrounds, Burton, April 30 - May 2, 2010. Check out the link below for all the information and online registration.
