Our April Roundtable will be held on Wed. April 2, live at the Furnace Brook Middle School in Marshfield and hybrid on the Council’s Zoom platform (see the council calendar for the link to sign up for the hybrid broadcast). This session’s planned topics include presentations on International Scouting Awards, Religious Awards, Other Non-advancement-related Awards, and the Camp Squanto Summer Program. Good news for you – these presentations are led by people other than me!
There will be no breakout sessions in April, the main session will run from 7-8 PM, and the hybrid broadcast will terminate at that point. Cranberry Harbors District will be presenting its final set of District Awards from 8-8:40 PM. Headwaters, Metacomet, Post Road and Sachem District Scouters should check with your District Leaders for your awards presentation schedule.
I hope you’ll join us in April.

Slides from our February Mayflower Council Roundtable are posted below, along with supplemental data from the session, including the Winter Safety Moment, “Normal Friends Activities” sheets (including Winter NFA’s, Talking to Friends about Scouting, Five Steps for an open house, and Parent engagement to boost membership), Supplemental Training Information, and Building the Unit Leader Team. During the breakout session, there was discussion on using parent talent surveys to help build better Unit Leader Teams. Parent survey forms (from BSA National) for Packs, Troops and Crews are also posted — I could not find one for Ships. Please feel free to modify these forms as you see fit for your unit’s use. Our next roundtable will be at the Furnace Brook Middle School in Marshfield (and broadcast on the Council’s zoom platform) on Wed. Mar. 12. I hope to see you there.
