           Dear Scouting
          Leaders:   
          The 2002 "Join
          Scouting Night" theme for the Boy Scouts of America, Viking
          Council is "Because Too Much Fun is Never Enough!" I can't
          think of a more appropriate theme for the young people in our
          communities to rally around. 
          
           The
          2002 Join Scouting Night program will offer thousands of young people
          the opportunity to join the positive, values-oriented programs of the
          Boy Scouts of America. 
          Our role as key
          facilitators of Join Scouting Night are to provide a positive first
          impression that gives thousands of young people an insight of what's
          in store for them in Scouting. 
          Join Scouting Night
          is a major undertaking! We are going to invite every eligible Cub
          Scout-age and Boy Scout-age boy to participate in the fun, adventure
          and challenge of Scouting by bringing his parents to a "Join
          Scouting Night" meeting on Thursday, September 19, 2002. 
          Through our
          commitment and work as a team, we will witness thousands of boys
          joining Tiger Cubs, Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. And through our
          efforts, these youngsters will begin to learn the value of
          citizenship, the strength of moral character, and the personal
          satisfaction of physical and mental fitness that have always
          exemplified the Scouting program. 
          Our challenge is to
          "Be Prepared" on September 19, 2002 to make a positive first
          impression on thousands of new Scouts from around the Viking Council.
          This booklet contains all the information you need to be successful on
          Join Scouting Night. 
          On behalf of all the
          young men who will join Scouting on September 19th, thank you and
          welcome to the Join Scouting Night Team! 
          Your Honorary Chairs; 
          Akela, Baloo and TC

        The 
        ScoutingBSA.org web site is a 
		legacy site of the Viking Council BSA, now Northern Star Council.   
		 This site was the original council site and was active from 1996 to 
		2002 and run by volunteers.  As the web became more important to 
		Scouting, the council took over with paid staff.  This site is no 
		longer maintained but is an interesting snapshot of an early Scouting 
		web site.    You can share your comments  using our
