Retirement of Dan O'Neal

Our Senior Director of Philanthropy, Mr. Dan O’Neal, has tendered his letter of retirement from professional service effective June 30th, 2016. He has accepted a calling to begin overseas mission work. He will be working closely with a foundation dedicated to ending child slavery and human trafficking in foreign countries. He will begin his new role with them on July 1, 2016.

Dan has served as an important part of the Palmetto Council family for the past three years after an extensive career with Ducks Unlimited. A reception is being planned in mid-July to recognize Dan for his contributions to the youth and families that we serve.

Please join us in congratulating Dan and his family as they undertake this exciting new adventure.

Rocket Into Scouting (Fall Recruitment) Sign-Up

This fall the Palmetto Council will be recruiting on Saturday mornings rather than weekday evenings.  The council will approach the schools as normal inviting potential Scouts to "Rocket Into Scouting."  The joining meetings will allow parents to complete applications, launch a rocket with their son, and learn about local packs to join.  We will have several locations to join each community.  In August we will have training at Roundtable.  The Rocket Into Scouting theme has been tested around the Country with much success.  Please list your recruitment contact and pack information below so we can send you more details as they become available.  Pack should submit this information by July 1, 2016.
