2016-17 Roundtable Plan

The next Boy Scout Roundtable will be Tuesday September 13th, 7:30pm at the East Granby Congregational Church.

September is fast approaching and with it brings the first Matianuck District Boy Scout Roundtable meeting of the 2016-17 program year. I looked up the planned program features from Boys Life as well as the suggested Boy Scout interest topics from the Roundtable Planning Guide, and drafted the following plan for the year (see table below). This plan can be modified to suit the interests and needs of your units, so please comment or send me an email to share your ideas. I look forward to meeting with you again in September!

Lastly, a PDF of the newly published Program Features Volume III is currently on scouting.org.

February Roundtable Agenda

Tuesday February 9th, 7:30PM at East Granby Congregational Church

**Please note the change in agenda from my earlier email announcement. We have rescheduled the tough scout challenge and Mt. Washington experience presentation to the March roundtable.**

  • Joint opening
    • Announcements
    • Council-led introduction to Scoutbook.com
      • This training/introduction will be detailed and take about 45 minutes, so we will do the Tough Scout Challenge and Mt. Washington experience next month in the boy scout breakout session (March).
    • Commissioners minute – Chuck Hoadley

The program feature for February roundtable is Citizenship. In order to have time for the scoutbook.com training, we will forgo the program feature topic this month, but you may download a pdf of it here. Thank you to Chuck for conducting the February roundtable!
