Thank
you to all that attended the June "School Night for Scouting Meeting"
a few weeks ago.
What
a turnout!
I hope
you all gathered some helpful tips on getting ready to "sign up"
new boys for scouting!
We
all have our own way of "roundup night", so good luck!!
Here's
the "Roundup
Night Guide" if you did not make the meeting or did not receive
a copy. I hope you find this guide helpful so you will have a great
turnout and sign up a lot of new boys.
Also:
We need to have the dates of your "boy talk" (classroom talk
with boys usually day before) and your "roundup" (sign up
night) if you have not given that to me or Joe at this time. Please
email
Joe Hayes at jhayes@atlantabsa.org
with your dates. He will need these to print the flyers for
your schools to handout.
ALL
MATERIALS FOR A GREAT ROUNDUP WILL BE AVAILABLE AT THE AUGUST ROUNDTABLE.
A SEPARATE
TABLE WILL BE SET UP FOR YOU TO PICK UP YOUR MATERIALS (This includes
flyers, yard signs, posters, boys life sample, applications, stickers)
Please
get Joe the dates ASAP so the flyers can be printed.
FLYERS: We
need to know what you want on them.

Mandatory
Training is Here
From
the Council Training Chair Susie Mahoney
"Top
Leaders in the Atlanta Area Council MUST be trained by the end of 2010.
These are Scoutmasters, Cubmasters, Crew Advisors, Team Coaches, and
Skippers.
Direct
Contact Leaders in the Atlanta Area Council must be trained by the end
of 2011. These include assistants to top leaders and any other adult
who comes in direct contact with the youth.
All
new leaders are required to be trained within a year of the time they
register or have a position change
ALL
registered adults are required to have Youth Protection Training.
Penalties
for not having trained leaders can be as severe as withholding the unit
charter."
As
many of you know, the information from Council for recharter has historically
lacked any training information for leaders. Information has been turned
in, but due to technology issues, the information has not been put in
a place where it can be utilized.
Now,
Susie is going to enter everyone's training data herself.
Enter
your name as it appears on your BSA membership card
Include
your BSA membership ID number
If
you took a particular training many years ago and did not receive
a training card make your best guess as to the date.
If
you’ve taken online training although there should be a record
of it please include that date on the report.
What
makes a trained leader? Refer to the Training
Page on the BSA National web site or the back of the Adult
Application.
