OK, in May we reviewed a whole year's worth of Activities you could put on your Unit's Schedule (and that month by month list of activity ideas is still here), now for the Leader's Roundtable on September 15, we'll drill down to cover the details -- how to plan just one activity (our example will be a day or weekend at Camp in October, sort of like our Cub n Camp o Ree, but if you're not going to that, don't worry, what we cover will be good for you even if your day or weekend at Camp in October is OA Trailblazer at Bert Adams at Bert Adams, a Camp Thunder Spookoree or the Duty to God encampment at Bert Adams or something else).  We'll break out the tasks so you can share the work to allow your unit to be successful without YOU doing everything.  Sign up here.  Not listed?  Email the Webmaster.

It's like Roundtable but with lots of Pizza . . . Cub Leader training is scheduled for successive Thursdays, Part One on August 25 at 7:00 (which will give you an overview of the Methods of Cub Scouting, including Activities, Advancement, Uniform, Den structure and Scouting Ideals, all presented within a Cub Scout meeting format) and Part Two on September 1 at 7:00 (which will give you information about the key jobs in your Cub Scout Pack, how you do them with a Pack that is the size of your Pack, and how you then evolve as you get more Scouts and Leaders -- basically, this is to make sure that everyone knows how to run a Cub Scout activity or help those Den Leaders and Cubmasters as they run those events) (more details in those links to the calendar), with signup for both here in this register or here in this On Line Survey.  Nobody had signed up yet for it, but if you were really really set on training on August 27, you can still do training that day: there are other courses on that day, including two separate outdoor Cub Leader trainings (BALOO) plus a regular Cub Leader Training.

. . . on Saturday, August 27, at 9:00am, registered Adult Leaders are invited to attend the "House of Scouts Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast" at the Volunteer Service Center, 1800 Circle 75 Pkwy SE, Atlanta, GA 30339, with Breakfast prepared by Waffle House.  Register through the Atlanta Area Council Calendar here, where you will find more details -- and we are told that this event is not limited to just two adult leaders per unit, but that all adult leaders are invited.  Enjoy!

Here are activity ideas for every month of the year from the Pack Activity Planning session at May Roundtable -- including a version of a "Be One With The Wild" flyer YOU can edit, and include YOUR Pack activities (just open that link, and copy that document to your computer as YOUR flyer, and get that flyer in the hands of boys and families).  Also attached you'll find the excerpts from the "Activities" section of Pack Leadership Team Training,

This just in:  Trained Leaders have more fun. And they develop Super Powers!!  Like how to enjoy these events! You can too, if you attend training.  For Live and Local Training, sign up to attend Cub Leader Training (1) on Saturday, August 13 at 12:30 (details in that link to the calendar) here in this register or here in this On Line Survey, or (2) and this is a NEW date as of August 10, in two parts on successive Thursdays, Part One on August 25 at 7:00 and Part Two on September 1 at 7:00 (details in that link to the calendar), with signup for both here in this register or here in this On Line Survey.  More live classes in the Atlanta Area Council over the next 3 months include 13 Cub Leader trainings, 5 BALOOs (Cub Scout Outdoor Training), 4 OWLs (Outdoor Webelos Leader), 7 Scoutmaster "indoor" Training classes, and 9 Scoutmaster Outdoor Trainings (or "ITOLS").  You can go to get trained in any District.  Not just South Fulton.  It's OK.  More on our Leader Training Page, including how to do online training in many subjects, like Youth Protection, Troop Committee Challenge, and "This is Scouting", at www.MyScouting.org. At our Leader Training Page, you will find that it is all there.  Go.  There's nothing stopping you
