ATTENTION SCOUTERS:
Our next District Committee Meeting will be held on Monday, June 2, 2008 between 7:00 - 8:30pm held in room 201 at the Boone UMC. These meetings occur on the 1st Monday of every month unless otherwise noted here. Click on the link above to download a list of our District Committee Members and their contact information.
THE PURPOSE FOR DISTRICT COMMITTEE MEETINGS:
The District has Committee Meetings once a month - just like a normal unit does - in order to provide many services that help meet the needs of local Scouting Units. Services such as: expanding and strengthening the relationships that we have here in our community, supporting local programs like the District Pinewood Derby Race, Boy Scout camporees, and Cub Scout Day Camp. We help Scouting raise the funds that our Council needs to run successful programs. We help your Unit recruit new members, provide training for all of our parents and unit leaders, conduct Eagle Boards of Review, Scouting For Food projects, and MORE!
District Committee Meetings are always open to anyone, but our regular attendance comes from those who help Scouting in the following areas: Activities & Camping, Training, Finance, Publicity & Civic Service, Advancement & Recognition, and Membership. Each of these committees are headed by a Chairman who helps us to recruit the very best volunteers to support the Scouting movement. Unless otherwise noted here, our District Committee Meetings will always occur on the 1st Monday of the Month beginning at 7pm.
ATTENTION ALL UNITS:
Our next Roundtable Meeting will not be unitl Wednesday, September 10, 2008. Please note that at the District Committee Meeting that was held in May, we decided that beginning with our next Roundtable (which will be held on the 10th of September) we would move from meeting on the second Monday of the month to meeting on the Second Wednesday of the month. Please note this change with your Units.
THE PURPOSE FOR ROUNDTABLE:
Scout Leaders, Parents, and Unit Volunteers are always invited and encouraged to attend our Roundtable programs. Every Pack, Troop, and Venture Crew should continually plan to have at least one person attend the Roundtable every month so that you can be informed about the ongoing Scouting programs and how they can benefit you and your unit. Roundtable is designed to help your unit succeed by offering a time to share our ingredients for success, to receive training on new topics, to get acquainted with updates on our calendar, to get access to new materials, and be informed about how Scouting can be taken to the next level. Unless otherwise noted here, our Roundtable meetings will always occur on the 2nd Monday of the Month at 7pm.
See you at the Roundtable !!
