Dear Big Apple Scouters,
We hope you are excited about the Big Apple District February Roundtable, taking place via Zoom on Monday, February 27, 2023, at 6:30 pm Eastern Time. We have a great lineup of presenters and guests, and we can't wait to share the evening with you.
The Roundtable will begin with "The Way of Advancement" - A Cub & Troop Guest Expert Advancement Panel moderated by Neil Worden, Big Apple District Assistant District Commissioner for Roundtable. This panel will feature experts from both the Cub and Troop programs, sharing their insights and best practices for helping Scouts advance and achieve their goals.
Following the advancement panel, we will hear from Kim Salvo, Assistant Cubmaster of Pack 422 and District Program Chair. Kim will be discussing "Rank in a Box, Cub Program Layout" - a helpful tool for Cub Scout leaders to plan and execute successful program meetings and activities.
Next up, we have David Russell, Troop 728 Scoutmaster, presenting on "1st Class Initiative and Higher Ranks - Program Support." David has been a successful Troop leader for many years and will be sharing his tips and tricks for helping Scouts progress through the higher ranks of Scouting.
Afterward, we are honored to have the Hon. Efrain Alvarado presenting on "Troop Eagle Prospect Path Checklist." Judge Alvarado has been a longtime supporter of Scouting and has served in many Troop leader roles. He will be sharing his expertise and insights into the Eagle Scout rank and how Troops can support their Scouts on their journey.
Last but not least, we are excited to welcome the Greater New York Councils' new Scout Executive/CEO & President Saroya Friedman-Gonzalez as our guest speaker. Ms. Friedman-Gonzalez brings a wealth of experience and enthusiasm for Scouting, and we look forward to hearing her thoughts on the future of Scouting in our Council and beyond.
