ICYMI – Roundtable August 2024

Hightower Trail Roundtable was stocked with experts this month.  Attendees are encouraged to participate rather than just listen, so discussion was lively and informative throughout the program… and after the program, too.  After we turn off the lights, everyone knows you can just move to the parking lot!  We love to see new units represented and our numbers increase every month.  Three Scouters won door prizes!  Next Roundtable there will also be a gift card PRIZE to the unit who brings the most representatives!

Erika Fields presented a Safety Moment on Anxiety, pointing out that situations like going to Scout camp can be a challenge for many.  Some helpful information mentioned is linked below under “Resources”.  Scouters also heard from the Council High Adventure Committee Chair, Daniel Yee, about opportunities to help get youth access to high adventure.  

The main topic of the day was ScoutBook and how it is changing, what ScoutBook Plus (aka ScoutBook 2.0 ) is bringing, and where Internet Advancement fits in.  Maurice Landrum, program specialist from Council, walked us through it.  His wide range of experience using and teaching these tools was valuable.  Scouters then split into breakout groups.  The Troop reps stayed with Mr. Landrum, while Kelly Livingston (Pack 21 Den Leader and past committee chair, and T15 New Member Chair) did an excellent job leading the Pack unit reps.

Many opportunities are available in the Atlanta area over the next few months for training, advancement, and fun times.  See the list below for links!
