We’re Back!

Welcome to the new Wangan!
Our council’s newspaper will be fun, informative and colorful. It will focus on youth, units and program, "how to" stories and information, and district and council news. This paper issue is a start. Our vision is to create four to six issues a year, make them available for printing on the council website, provide

subscriptions for those who prefer to receive a printed copy in the mail. We intend to create an on line form that will allow anyone to easily send us their scouting news. Communication is key. We need stories and news. The Wangan will only be a success if everyone participates.

Let’s do our best!
