| This is an unofficial site and in
no way is condoned or supported by the Boy Scouts of America, Ozark Trails Council, or Pathfinder
District. Its only purpose is to serve as a resource for registered Scouters
attending the Pathfinder District Boy Scout roundtable in Springfield, Missouri. While
every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information found
on this site, nothing on these web pages should be interpreted as official
policy. Use it only at your own risk. For official
rules, regulations, policy, and guidance you should contact a member of your
local Council's professional
staff or refer to the official literature of the Boy Scouts of America
- including the current issues of Guide to Safe Scouting,
youth protection resources,
Advancement Committee Policies and Procedures, Insignia Guide, tour
permis (local and national), the Wilderness
Use Policy, both the Adult and Youth membership applications,
uniform inspection sheets for youth and leaders, various factsheets, the Introductory
Guide for Merit Badge Counselors, and the current year's Boy Scout Requirements.
While not "official", our friends at USScouts.org are
ever vigilant regarding changes in rank and
merit badge requirements, too. Roundtables are continuing education for all levels of adult troop leadership - Scoutmaster, assistant Scoutmaster, troop committee member, chartered organization representative, and unit commissioner. They are much more than just a forum for announcements. They are held monthly to give adult leaders the skills and ideas needed to deliver an exciting Boy Scout program and also serve to renew each Scouter's enthusiasm and dedication. Both are vital to make the program the best it can be. The subject of each roundtable is selected to emphasize important aspects of the Boy Scout program and feature a monthly training segment. Keep up to date - please make sure that at least one leader from your troop attends; more if possible! A good roundtable is constantly changing to meet the needs of those in attendance. Please forward any suggestions, comments, or broken link reports to Steve Zeiler. Roundtables are usually conducted on the first Thursday of each month, with the formal program starting at 7:00 PM at the Messiah Lutheran Church, 925 E. Seminole Street, Springfield, MO (two blocks west of St. John's Surgery Center). Click here for a map. The Boy Scout leaders will be meeting in Luther Hall. Boy Scout leaders, Cub Scout leaders, and youth members of the Osage Chapter of the Wah-Sha-She OA lodge conduct their respective meetings at the same time on their campus. Any registered leader can complete Fast Start, Youth Protection certification, Safety Afloat, Safe Swim Defense, and the Troop Committee Challenge online! Remember, Youth Protection certification should be renewed every two years. You simply go to the BSA's Online Learning Cener. Have your membership number handy and the council will be notified of your completion of that training. December 2007 Handout - Wilderness Survival and annual program planning. Click here for a list of previous roundtable topics and handouts. Click here for a list of special topics we will be covering through January 2009 and nationally-planned themes through December 2010. Your next chance to attend our roundtable will be Thursday, January 3, 2008. Planned topics include using the Communications theme and a topic to be determined at our December 2007 roundtable. Please bring a fellow Scouter (or two) and all your good ideas. We look forward to seeing you there. |
