February Roundtable – WHAT TO EXPECT – Feb 1, 2018 – 7:00PM
What to expect at this month’s Roundtable Meeting
The monthly District Roundtable meeting provides an information and training forum for adults involved as leaders in the Scouting program. Parents and children are welcome to attend. These meetings allow attendees from all parts of the Scouting program to:
◾ 
Discuss topics of interest, both formally and informally
◾ Learn new skills and program topics for your unit
◾ Learn about upcoming District and Council events
◾ Meet and exchange ideas with other leaders from the District
Roundtable is open to all adults involved with the Scouting program. Registered leaders are especially encouraged to attend.
LOCATION: Wayzata Community Church, 125 Wayzata Blvd E, Wayzata, MN, 55391 map

ROUNDTABLE OPENING – FLAGS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
- Roundtable handouts are posted after each roundtable meeting. Roundtable handouts
Joint – Big Rock Topic – Adult Leader Recognition
We all know that advancement is a critical component of Scouting for our Youth. But did you know that adults can earn recognition as well? Yes, we’re going to talk about Adult leader recognition, including Leader Knots — what they all mean, how training is a key component to obtain them, and how they can engage and retain your adult leaders.
Boy Scout Breakout Program – Youth Leadership
February is all about youth leadership. We’ll cover one of the best youth leadership opportunities – the Order of the Arrow. How to conduct an election, what happens once a youth is elected, and what opportunities there are for leadership beyond the unit. We will also have a presentation on Introduction to Leadership Skills for Troops – how to deliver it in your Troop and what they benefits are for youth (and the adults).
Cub Scout Breakout Program – Girls will be joining the Cub Scout program in 2018!
The February cub scout breakout will focus on the upcoming launch of girls joining the Cub Scout program in 2018. Join us at roundtable and we will bring you up-to-date on this new and provocative change. We will be prepared to answer your questions, or the questions you bring from your unit leaders or parents.

OA Chapter Meeting
The Order of the Arrow is a “Brotherhood of Scout Honor Campers”, often referred to as the Brotherhood of Cheerful Service. We are a group of people who have been elected by our peers as being capable of upholding the honor through our continued actions of cheerful service to others. It is a youth-run organization, meaning that all important decisions are made by the youth (age 20 or less) under advisement of the adult Advisors.
Meetings of the Lake Minnetonka Chapter of the Totanhan Nakaha Lodge, Order of the Arrow, are held in conjunction with the district roundtables on the first Thursday of each month.
7:00 – 8:30 – OA Chapter Meeting During Roundtable
Chapter officers should attend, and all troops should send their OA Troop Representative (a youth leadership position) or another OA member to represent their unit, but all OA members are invited to attend these meetings. We are planning for a big year and need lots of help.
