Get ready for an exciting and delicious evening at our April 2026 Roundtable! Join us on April 23rd at 7:00 PM at the Chamblee First United Methodist Church Scout Hut for a fun-filled Campout Cooking Competition that celebrates outdoor skills, creativity, and great food.

This is your chance to see who truly has the best camp cooking skills and the ultimate recipe for the great outdoors. We invite every Troop, Pack, and Crew to send their best cook—or cooking team—to compete, share, and showcase what they can do. Whether it’s a tried-and-true classic or a creative new dish, bring your A-game and your appetite!

Beyond the competition, this event is a fantastic opportunity to learn from some of the best outdoor cooks in the district. Participants and attendees alike will gain valuable tips and techniques for meal planning, camp cooking, and efficient cleanup—skills that make every campout more enjoyable and successful.

Come hungry, come ready to learn, and come ready to share. We look forward to seeing the creativity, teamwork, and flavors that make our scouting community so special!

The Metrics categories are:

• Trained Leaders
• Size
• Growth
• Advancement-Leadership
• Outdoor-Super Activity

Olas asked for their help in two main areas.

1. Outdoor / Super Activity Metric
2. Leadership

#1 Priority – Outdoor / Super Activity Metric: This is the quickest and easiest way to improve the unit’s current status. Time to complete the entry is less than logging on to my.scouting.org. It is not automatic and the Commissioner Staff cannot enter for the unit. Olas asked for each Committee Chair to enter this data, since the Cubmaster and Scoutmaster are super busy with the program side.

This task is completed under my.scouting.org.

1. Log into my.scouting.org.
2. Click on “Organizational Manager” (from the options on the left of the screen).
3. Click on “Unit Data Metric Entry” (from the options on the left of the screen).
4. Use the pull-down calendar to open the calendar.
5. Locate the last day of the event and CLICK on the day.
6. The Unit Date Metric Entry page should be visible with the date that you entered.
7. CLICK on the “SUBMIT Entry” button located on the lower right of the screen (NOTE: one may have to scroll down the screen to see it).

#2 Priority – Leader Training Metric: Under this metric National requires that the Committee Chair and the Cubmaster or Scoutmaster be position trained. Committee Chair requires only the online course via my.scouting.org. Cubmaster / Scoutmaster require the online course and a course on outdoor leadership.

#3 Priority All Leader Positions Trained: To improve and provide additional assistance within the unit, it is recommended that anyone holding a leader position in a unit to take the online course for their position. This can lead to individuals having the confidence to step up to the next position and the program being more successful. Through the cooperation in these areas, it will improve the metrics for the unit. This will also reflect the program provided by Hightower Trail District. If you need assistance or have a question, please feel free to contact your Key 3, your Unit Commissioner or Olas Scott (District Commissioner). ‍
