WHAT ARE ROUND TABLE BUCKS?
Round Table Bucks Program was introduced last year as an incentive to participate in various things Long Trail District is doing to help units become strong and fun. Leslie Sanborn, will play banker and at the June Round Table Meeting hand an envelop to leaders with the "Bucks earned'. These Bucks will be used in an auction of items which will be donated by other volunteers etc. Things which have been identified as Round Table Bucks earning opportunities are:
- Attend Round Table. Each month you attended and signed in will be accounted for through the RT sign in records.
- Present a topic at the Round Table- (RT Staff excluded).
- Bring a Scouter who has never been before to RT
- Write a news brief and or article that appears in the LT District E-news "Smoke Signals.
- At RT, Show a published article, photo, or some other publicity piece that went to the general public that you were directly involved in producing, which highlights your unit.
SMOKE SIGNALS RETURNING
Leslie Sanborn is the new editor of Smoke Signals, and
requests that all
articles
be emailed to
her at asteriskvt@aol.com . She's looking for news briefs reporting on unit,
district,
and council activities. Short on time? Sometimes, a
picture is worth a thousand words, so consider sending photos with
captions. Announcements of upcoming events is being expanded to include
unit events: Let her know the when/where/contact information of
your next derby or other special event/activity that would be of interest
to others. How better for a new leader to learn about running events than
to attend one of yours?
Remember, your item that appears in print in Smoke
Signals entitles you to additional RT$ (limit RT$ per
issue). If you don't know about RT$ yet see above and look for updates to be revealed in
the next Smoke Signals . .
WHAT IS ROUND TABLE AND WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND ?

Cub Leaders Breakout Session
NOW - Get excited about the upcoming National Theme of the Month for the following month. Built into a "Mini-Pack Meeting setting" may be anything from a "hands on take home project", to information and ceremony ideas to use in your own unit. Learn the resources others have already found to make things easier in planning your meetings.
COMING IN THE NEAR FUTURE - Cub Scouts will be changing in the next 9 mos. Leslie can clue you in on what to expect. A trial program was developed and has been tested since 2005 across the nation and proved it's worth. The program will center on the 12 core values and handbooks and advancing youth. The program is designed to make it easier for today's busy leaders and parents and has shown improved retention and advancements. By attending Round Tables you may learn first hand how things are developing. Training will begin in the spring with the program starting after that.
Troop / District Scout Leader Session
Topics of interest are chosen according to input by various leaders and District Scouters.
O/A Meetings
Youth brought by their Unit leaders take care of O/A business and learn of upcoming opportunities to participate in O/A led programs from Ordeals to conclaves.
