    As part of our club's non-profit charter we are to provide educational and training programs. As the programs that are documented get posted on the educational page most club members may never see them or be aware of them and many go unposted.  Here is a partial list of what has gone on so far this summer for which I participated.  Mary, Ed and others have done other programs and by my posting I hope we will see them recorded here for club member awareness and with the hope others will join the educational crew.

    Sharon and I did a program for Locust Lake State Park on July 14. We had 14 people attend, as well as the Park Educational Director. It was a simple white course on the map that was made for the permanant course.

    Mary or Mark Frank, can one or both of you elaborate on JUST WHAT IS THE DVOA EPUNCH Educational Training Kit?  Mentioned in the original post.  I don't want to borrow it (Yet), just under stand it.
    Obviously being in NJ if I ever wanted to borrow it I woud have to make sure It was returned Pronto to the Franks or Someone willing to bring it back to them ... maybe if I ever borrowered it (with advanced coordination) to train some DVOA or west NJ scout related event Newbies
    I expect its a small amount of e punchs and possibly some stands and a start and stop/finish timer + clear check box, and possibly a older but still usefull e punch 6 year plus older computer (else a disk or thumb drive based memory device to somehow make the/a PC system work results tally at a training event).  Let me know

    So there were 9 events that people did, without making a big deal. Someone asked, so we did it. What a great club.
