Youth Leadership College

Formerly known as Junior Leader College, the Order of the Arrow will once again put on this event. Joe Henry, Lodge Chief, said he has "two rather exciting pieces of news to share with you. First, Paul Douglass will be our Guest Speaker at the opening ceremony on April 14th!" Second, YLC will be featured in the next National OA bulletin! I received a call from Paul Jensen (2005 OA Central Region Chief) today. Paul asked me some great questions about YLC (what is it, why is it important, etc.) and will feature them in a section in the next issue! I think this speaks a lot of our Lodge, that we will be recognized nationally. I hope you are all looking forward to it as much as me!" The National Bulletin is linked at http://www.main.oa-bsa.org/bulletin/.
