The slide presentation from our March Roundtable is posted at the link below. Our apologies for the technical issues (sound, breakout slide delay) during this session. We will work to resolve these issues for April. In addition, slides intended for the breakout sessions (service projects) are posted, as is an information sheet on the International Scouting “Trash the Trash” Day project (May 2, 2026). The SAFE project tool use guide for Service Projects is posted. This checklist and the included tool use guide apply ONLY for service projects. For all other Scouting activities, use the SAFE checklist for all activities (also posted) and the Age-Appropriate Guidelines from the Guide for Safe Scouting. Scouting leaders should verify the most current issue of these documents online prior to use. You will also find a list of recruitment “swag” provided by the membership team, the USDA Pest Alert Sheet on the Spotted Lantern Fly, and a sheet with information cards on a couple of invasive insects and on ticks in Massachusetts. Lastly, Blake Dinius’ presentation slides “The Bugs that Bug you” are included. Thanks to all who participated and to Blake Dinius, Entomologist Extension Educator from the Plymouth County Extension for his excellent presentation. Our next roundtable is Wed. Apr. 15 (delayed due to religious holidays) at the First Congregational Church in Norwood. I hope to see you there.
