The Roughrider District would like to encourage all units to share specific items of interest with the district. This can be related to unit activities, outings, or just good ideas. This information will allow us to spread good program ideas to other units throughout our district. If you have photos of your Scouts doing something fun, please email them to Bill for next months Northern Sky Hi-Lites!
ROUNDTABLE UPDATE What is the number one thing leaders say they need help with? Wouldn’t it be a lot easier to start the year with all your meetings planned out? Wouldn’t it be nice to give parents a calendar with all the meeting dates and themes for the year? This is your chance to make it happen! The June Roundtable will feature Program Planning. Program planning is the single most important thing a unit can do to make activities, leadership, and recruitment easier. If you are not doing program planning you are working way too hard! Here you will learn how to plan out your year using the numerous resources available to you. Please take advantage of this opportunity to make this year in Scouting a great experience. We will also have more great doorprizes.

VOLUNTEER LEADER TRAINING Do you have trained leaders presenting the Cub Scout and Boy Scout Program to your youth? Training is essential to a Quality Unit and the effective delivery of the Scouting Program to the youth. Training is what allows the adult leaders of your unit the best opportunity to deliver the best possible program to our youth. Please let us know who from your Pack or Troop needs to be trained and we will work with you to set up the appropriate training course. If you want more information or to schedule training for your unit contact Deb Nelson at 225-4703 or Email to: deb@dlnconsulting.com.
