Planning for Your Roundtable
As for any unit outing, planning makes all the difference in delivering a quality program experience to Scouts and Scout Leaders. There are three key steps in roundtable planning.
• Annual Planning • Monthly Planning
• Just-before-the-roundtable planning
The Annual Plan
The Cub Scout Roundtable Planning Guide is designed to support the monthly themes. EXPECT BIG THINGS for the 2013-2014 Cub Scout Roundtable Planning Guide as our very own BALOO's Bugle Editor, Dave has had a big hand in the process. The monthly Themes will remain the same and we will use Set B of the Supplemental Pack Meeting Themes. It is important that the Core Values be merged with district and council programs and calendars. Involve the district commissioner and professional staff member in developing the annual planning conference.
The planning conference gives you a chance to
• Review roundtables from last year.
• Use feedback from leaders for ideas and suggestions related to roundtable programs.
• Ask unit commissioners for general needs identified by their commissioners' work sheet or Unit Self-Assessment forms.
• Review national Journey to Excellence objectives for program emphasis ideas. Prioritize the unit needs of your district!
• Review the Roundtable Planning Guide. Coming soon!
• Study the council/district calendar of activities and special events that help strengthen and support unit programs.
• Establish a meeting location for every roundtable during the year
Promotion gets them there the first time.
Good program gets them to return.
