District Roundtable Meeting for October 3rd. 

It is a great time to be a Scout and our program has so much to offer to our youth and families. Come out and join the District Commissioner Team and other unit leaders as we prepare to lead our units for the greatest Scouting Season Ever!

We will be reviewing our 2025 program calendar.  We will answer any questions regarding the renewal process.

Special breakout session for our Scout BSA Leaders and Cub Scout leaders to cover any topics needed.

Alex Sobtzak, Cub Scout Roundtable Commissioner will talk about fall recruitment and help you answer any questions you may have on the new Cub Scout Adventures.

Roundtable is a form of commissioner service and supplemental training for the leaders within all Scouting Units. It is intended to give leaders examples for different unit programs, information on policies, events and training opportunities. It will help you as an unit leader to learn new skills and endure you have everything needed to run a great Scouting Program.

Our meeting will be held in the Dining Hall at Sand Hill Scout Reservation, starting at 7:30pm.  Announcements and quick information will be presented, followed by breakout sessions for Scout BSA leaders and Cub Scout Leaders to allow for a more in-depth conversations.

Aiming for the Arrow

November 1-3, 2024

Webelos and Arrow of Light scouts are welcome to attend the Withlacoochee District Aiming for the Arrow, American Heritage. Cubs will learn some new scout skills, take time to remember our American Heritage, all while working in a patrol method setting. By working on these skills they will gather new skills for their Webelos and Arrow of Light ranks. This will give them an insight of the scouting traditions to be successful in Scouts BSA. The Cub Scouts will be taught the patrol method and will be using this skill through out the day within the activities. The Cub Scouts will experience different activities for first-aid and other outdoor camping experiences. This camping experience is for Webelos and Arrow of Light scouts only.

If you are interested in helping during this event, please contact Mandi Harmon our District Program Chair.
