Greetings Mountain Valley!
I wanted to remind everyone that we are reviving the old Google Group and transitioning to using that for mass message distribution. Please subscribe to stay updated on MVD happenings. https://groups.google.com/u/1/g/mtn-valley-vahc-bsa. Note, you must be logged into your Google account before the join button will appear. You do not need a Gmail account to create a Google account; you can use any email address. If you had previously subscribed to this group, now would be a good time to review your notification settings.
Also, this is a friendly reminder that District Award of Merit nominations are due to me by the end of November.
Our November Roundtable (November 5) will be in Harrisonburg at the Asbury UMC, Room 300. I hope to see you all there!
The Mountain Valley District is proud to recognize the Scouts who achieved the rank of Eagle Scout this past month. Each of these young leaders demonstrated commitment, service, and leadership at the highest level of Scouting.

Project: Rebuilt a shed for the Elkton Progressive Improvement Committee, including a new roof, doors, and repaired siding. - Thomas D. — Troop 11, Fishersville
Project: Landscaping work to support a church in Charlottesville. - Molly “MK” O. — Troop 314, Stuarts Draft
Project: Partnered with Silver Line Theatre Exchange in Staunton, transforming the unused space above their bathrooms into an efficient costume storage area - Sawyer T. — Troop 8, Churchville

These achievements remind us of the strength and promise of Scouting in our communities. We congratulate these Scouts and their families for their hard work and dedication.
Finally, Tracy Norman is stepping down from the District Program Chair position at the end of the year. If you would like to fill that spot or have someone in mind who you think would do great at Program planning, please let me know!
