Due to the anticipated
major snowstorm this weekend, both of the mall shows (York Galleria and
North Hanover Mall) scheduled for this Saturday, February 6 are being
postponed.
The York-Adams Area Council is pleased to announce a brand-new design
for the main and segment patches earned by Scouts participating in the historic
trails program. The new patch was designed to take full advantage of
improvements in the patch-making process to create a stirring design that
every Scout will be proud to display on their uniform.

KAC & YAAC Executive Boards Approve
Recommendation to Consolidate
On January 19, the executive board in York-Adams Area Council unanimously approved the joint study group’s recommendation that the two councils consolidate by merger. The next day, January 20, the executive board in Keystone Area Council was also unanimous in its approval of that recommendation.
The next step in the process that could result in the two councils coming together as one will be special council meetings in both councils on Wednesday, February 24. At these special meetings, voting members (chartered organization representatives and council members-at-large) will be asked to vote to approve or reject the consolidation of the two councils. In the case of bad weather on February 24, voting will take place on Thursday, February 25.
Packets regarding these special council meetings were mailed to voting members in both councils on Friday, January 22.
A series of information meetings to be held in both councils regarding the proposed consolidation are being scheduled. These meetings are intended to provide comprehensive information for all Scouting volunteers, as well as the voting members in both councils. Please check the complete schedule of meeting dates and locations.
The Study Group's reports and supporting documentation are posted on the consolidation website for all persons interested in reviewing it.
