Roundtable Recap

Arrowhead District Roundtable on Tuesday, January 24, 2012, was held at the new location (Trinity Lutheran Church, 9701 S. Brandt Avenue, in Oak Lawn).

Information shared included:

  • Cub Scout Day Camp will be held July 18 – 20, 2012. The District is looking for both youth and adult volunteers. Contact Helen Gesell at 708-955-6418 for more information.
  • Fishing Derby will be held Sunday, August 19, 2012, at Tampier Lake. More details coming soon.
  • A reminder was given that any units interested in the District Pinewood Derby on Saturday, February 25 need to be preregistered.
  • Owasippe will be using online registration for units and scouts. Unit Leaders will be able to sign scouts up for merit badges online. The camp will also be switching to a block programming for merit badges, which will allow for up to 6 hours for scouts to work on each merit badge. There will remain some merit badges that will have open scheduling (such as for basketry).
  • In preparation for the upcoming Klondike in February, old weather camping was reviewed.

As usual, Kevin Barry had the Trading Post set up. He brings down quite an assortment of resources for the district.

Next month’s Roundtable will be on Tuesday, February 28, 2012. Come on down!
