>
> The two sessions I have been invited to attend are
> "New Directions In Training" which I understand is

> Management Seminar" which I understand is oriented
> towards Council and District Training Chairs.

> What are the differences between these two courses?

> Philmont has long been a dream of mine, and though I

> As a single mom with limited income, this will

> for my interests, but for what I can take back to my

> I do need to make up my mind by the end of this week,
> not only to reserve my spot, but also to request my
> vacation time off in order to attend. I welcome all
> of your comments and advice, on or off list, to help
> me make my decision. Thank you.
