The Friends Committee on Scouting is the official liaison for the Religious Society of Friends to the various Scout organizations: Girl Scouts USA, Boy Scouts of America, Scouts Canada, and Campfire USA. We work with other Scout organizations and nations around the world, as an affiliated program of the FWCC. The Committee administers the awards that young Friends may work on and earn as an indication of belonging to their faith. The committee certifies Chaplains to represent the Quaker faith to various events. We welcome any Friend to contact us about the awards, or if there are any questions about our work. Go to quakerscouting.org/fcs-wp/. The committee will be celebrating our 25th anniversary of service to the Religious Society of Friends and Scouting during our stay at Sandy Spring Friends School. For more information, contact James Lehman (301-275-1708) or Tim Mullady (410-353-6594)

The purpose of the forum is to reflect on struggle of individuals and faith communities to live with integrity in a “Boom Town” era while those who do not live on the gas lands enjoy cheap and clean energy with security. Sponsored by the Environmental Concerns Committee of Lancaster Friends Meeting (PYM), the forum will begin at 12:30 pm. The Friends Meeting House is located at 110 Tulane Terrace, Lancaster PA 17603. The public is invited free of charge. For those wishing to also attend Meeting for Worship, worship begins at 10:00 and will be followed by a light lunch prior to the forum. For more information, contact Ed Shane (ecshane@verizon.net) or Bob Lowing. (r.lowing2@gmail.com)

The global community has been singularly unsuccessful in grappling with what is, in scientific terms, a fairly straightforward problem: the buildup of greenhouse gases in Earth’s atmosphere as a byproduct of the industrial revolution. This talk will look beyond the surface issues of conflicting economic interests, and into deeper realms of the human outlook and experience and cultural inheritance. Ken Orvis will lead the talk. The monthly potluck begins at 6:30 pm.
