2013 Troop Activity Calendar

Here is our TENTATIVE 2013 Troop Activity Calendar. Please do note that dates are subject to change.

Youth Protection Training


Why is YPT (article link) so important? Because a safe environment is best achieved when everyone is trained and fully aware, whether explicitly required or not. Troop 21 and BSA take this seriously and so should you.

Training can be done quickly online; go to myscouting.org and log-in or create an account. Upon completion, give a copy of your YPT certificate to the Troop 21 Training Coordinator: Marla Gordon.

Eagle Scouts: Merit Beyond the Badge


The results are in from the 2010 Baylor University study, Eagle Scouts – Merit Beyond the Badge, conducted by the university’s Program for Pro-Social Behavior under a grant from the John Templeton Foundation.

Parent Planning Meeting Changes

The executive committee met recently and made the recommendation the Parent Planning meetings be held on an every-other-month basis. Given that, we will plan to meet on the 2nd Monday in the odd months and plan to next meet July 29th. We hope this will make our meetings more meaningful and take less of your valuable time. Please feel free to provide any feedback.

        Description: The next district-wide MBC Training session will be graciously hosted by Troop 835. Check-in begins at 6:45 p.m. and the training begins at 7:00 p.m. (I still start on time) and runs for 90 minutes, because we're now using National's MBC Training PowerPoint, which is the most up-to-date information available. The training is still free and you register directly with me at drgwandsp@msn.com, NOT through DoubleKnot at Council. When you register, please include your name and unit number. Deadline to pre-register is Wednesday, June 26, 5:00 p.m. However, drop-ins are welcome, as always. I request you arrange to leave your children at home or with friends, as the host troop is not meeting that night.
