Last night, Chris (our chapter chief) and Mike (our vice chief) both made presentations to the scoutmaster's breakout session at roundtable. Taking on this kind of role in the district is a great way to show the value of the OA.
Chris talked about the upcoming Klondike, and gave an overview of what Scoutmasters can expect there. After this short presentation, he led everyone into an adjacent room and we played a round of giant pick-up sticks. It was a good rehearsal for running the game at Klondike, and the attendees seemed to enjoy it.
Mike taught a 10 minute class on cold weather camping. His slides are below, you can get much more information from the Boy Scout Fieldbook's chapter on Cold Weather Activities.
It was great to have the Pleasant Grove Ranger District come out and do a presentation too. We've been working to build a strong relationship with them, and hope to cooperate with them at our Fellowship this May.
We also passed around a sign-up sheet for unit elections. We had two units request elections this month. I think the presentations helped with the increased level of interest. Let's do what we can to continue to show people that the OA is a valuable asset to individual scouts, scouting units, and the district.
