2001 thru 2005

MUNSEE:  A Quality District FIVE years running.  If you didn’t know, Districts can achieve quality status much like local Scouting programs submit for Quality Unit status.  The requirements intend to paint a picture of Scouting's progress in our service area:  Eastern Union County.  Are we reaching more youth?  Does the Scouting community and the business community have a positive image of the program?  Have we increased our ability to serve unit level volunteers?  Do local Scouting programs meet the minimum national standards?  Are we reaching out to the community letting them know we are alive and well? 

 As many of you know, Eastern Union County has become more difficult to serve as demographics change.  Nevertheless, over the last three years, we have worked hard to meet the needs of the changing community and we have met the challenge.  As one of our veteran Scouters, Dick Ivory, said, “let’s toot our own horn!” Patriots Path Council has six districts.  In 2003, Only two of them achieved Quality District: Munsee--serving eastern Union County--and Fishawack--serving eastern Morris County (Great Job and Congratulations Fishawack).  Moreover, out of the 800 Scouting Districts in the Northeast Region, only 40 Districts achieved this coveted status.  This is a three-peater for Munsee District. That's right...we have achieved this recognition three years in a row and we are working on making it four.

The District Committee and Commissioner staff dedicate themselves to your success.  You will be hearing from many of us shortly.  Let us know how you are doing.  If you feel alone out there…we are here to walk you through. Together, over the last three years, we have a made a big difference in the lives of youth in our communities. Be Proud!  Keep moving forward.  You are never alone!  This journey is on-going.  And we intend to continually raise the quality of Scouting in Munsee District. 

 

I LOVE SCOUTING! And I know you do too!  Munsee may be small, but we have a great deal of spirit!  Let all hear…We are one of the top districts in the council!  Be Proud!
