Tim Canard, Director of Marketing for Golden Gate Area Council, has kindly agreed to join us and give us an update on tools and support the council can provide your unit to support and enhance your recruiting efforts. Tim joined us for the August Round table last year and shared a wealth of information. We have no doubt that this session will be as valuable.

For the second half of the meeting, we will split into Cub Scout and Scouts BSA sessions, with Jonathan Leder facilitating the session focusing on Cubs. For those of you who have not met Jonathan, He is currently a volunteer in Mission Peak District in both programs and a former district executive from Silicon Valley Monterey Bay Council. Jonathan has a wide and deep experience and has been more than willing to share it through the trainings that he has conducted in our district. We are looking forward to seeing you all as we kick off the 25-26 Scouting Season

10/11 - Troop Showcase Registration is OPEN!
|
|
|
The Mission Peak Troop Showcase is on a Saturday morning, October 11 from 10 AM until Noon. It is where Troops present themselves to the Arrow of Light Scouts from all over Mission Peak. This year, the Showcase will be completely outside, as it was the last three years. The location is Our Lady Guadalupe School, 40374 Fremont Blvd (at St. Leonards Way) and is the same location as last year. This is the school, not the church. Enter from Mission View Dr or Condon Street. This is 100% separate from the District Roundtable.
|
The Troop Showcase has always been one of the very best places for Arrow of Lights to start their quest for their ideal Troop. We typically have over 70% of the Troops represented at the Troop Showcase with a similar percentage of the Arrow of Light Dens participating in the event. We are asking each troop to indicate if they are intending to participate. Please fill out this short Google Form – Troop Showcase Interest.
|
Please e-mail your Troop Flyer to Henry Allen ( ) by October 1, even if you decide not to participate in the Showcase, and please complete the survey: Troop Showcase Interest. If you have questions, please contact Henry at the email above.
