For the units that have signed up to sell popcorn- popcorn kernel training is set for Thursday, August 12th at 6:00 p.m. at the First United Methodist Church in Prestonsburg (where we have roundtable). Please make plans for as many leaders as possible from your unit to attend! It’s worth an additional 2% in commission for your unit! If you have any questions please get in touch with me at 606-821-8121 or Michael.Vernon@scouting.org!

The Lonesome Pine District is back functioning with commissioner service! This will do nothing but improve the quality of our district and your units! We’re very excited about this development and for what it’s going to bring!
A commissioner is a volunteer who is a teacher, coach, mentor, and friend to 3 units throughout our district. The commissioner helps with issues the unit may be having (kids quitting program, not enough adult help, not enough funds in account, etc.) and helps each unit improve (trains more leaders, ensures each unit recharters on time, etc). Your commissioner will be able to respond to your unit more quickly than your district executive will be able to and can help provide that one on one coaching you may desire.

I’d like to welcome Mountain Community Fellowship and pack 833 to the Lonesome Pine District! The church and it’s leadership is adopting Pack 833 that was meeting at Central Elementary. Adding several boys and leaders to an already great program is nothing but a win for Paintsville and the BSA! A big thanks to Pastor and charter representative Jason Hutchinson, new Cubmaster Lora Beth Bangham, and committee member Nate Hager for already going through Cub Scout leader specific training!
