WELCOME TO THE NEW CENTRAL WYOMING
COUNCIL BOYS SCOUTS WEB SITE!
Spanning over half of the State of Wyoming, the Central
Wyoming Council of the Boy Scouts of America provides
service for boys from age 8 to 21. The purpose of the
Boy Scouts of America, incorporated on February 8,
1910, and chartered by Congress in 1916, is to provide
an educational program for boys and young adults to
build character, to train in the responsibilities of
participating citizenship, and to develop personal fitness.
Central Wyoming Council is proud to help with the
molding of Wyoming's youth in to tommorow's leaders.
"This is Scouting" was
added to the BSA's on-line
Learning Center over the
weekend. "This is Scouting"
replaces New Leader
Essentials as a required
course for Cub Scout,
Boy Scout, and Venturing
volunteers to earn the
"Trained" leader emblem.
"The Francis’ are excited
to make Casper, Wyoming
their home."
The Central Wyoming Council has named Mark R. Francis of the Las Vegas Area Council as the new Scout Executive.
Mark started his career with the Boy Scouts in 1999 as a District Executive for the Utah National Parks Council in St. George, Utah. In 2002, he transferred to the Las Vegas Area Council where he worked as a Senior District Executive (2002-04), Scoutreach Director (2005-06), and finally as a Field Director (2007-present). Mark and his wife, Nettie, are originally from Ogden, Utah and have six children. They both graduated from Brigham young University and have been very involved in the Scouting program from their youth. Mark is an Eagle Scout and Order of the Arrow Vigil Honor member. Collectively, Mark and Nettie have spent over 20 years working at Scout camps, and their children have spent six summers living at Scout camps. Nettie is a homemaker and freelance writer, writing for family oriented magazines as well as feature articles for the national Scouting Magazine. The Francis’ are excited to make Casper, Wyoming their home. Mark will assume his duties as Scout Executive on December 1, 2008.
Please Note: "Contrary to
the instructions given to
organizations who sponsor
more than one unit, the
"promote" button within the
recharter system is only
good if you recharter the
"crew" first, then the "team",
then the "troop" then the
"pack", in that order. The
"promote" button allows you
to move boys from one unit
to the next. If you have any
questions, call the council
office."
