Powahay District — Proudly serving the communities of Darien, New Canaan, Norwalk, Stamford & Wilton
Boy Scout/Venturing December 5, 2018
Roundtable Packet
Announcing
www.powahay.com
Connecticut Yankee Council this fall revamped their website. It is still under construction and we as a District do not have the ability to post and promote upcoming activities. For the past several weeks we have been doing our best to communicate program and registration links that were changed without notification.
If you want information on joining Scouting or making a contribution, then that information is loud and clear on the new Council website. If you want information or to register for a camporee, Polar Bear, and other district activities, it may NOT be there and/or hard to find.
We’ve created www.powahay.com website as a landing page before navigating the new Council website. There you will easily find Powahay’s upcoming activities, updated registration links and other helpful information for your unit.
Please share this link with your unit leaders, members and parents.
Do you have a question? Concerns? Need help? And not sure who to send it to? Email [email protected]. We will forward your email to the best person to assist you.
Are You on Our Email List? Sign up at http://archive.ctyankee.org/districts/powahay/email
We do not share your email address and only email as necessary. Please add [email protected] to your address book when you sign up.

Brief Announcements

7:20 to 7:40 PM Joint Session:
Key 3 Fireside Chat: Wrapping up the calendar year. How can we help – Your unit needs and concerns. — Mike Szarpa, Jim Mitchell, Jim Patterson
7:40 to 8:25 Split Session
Cub Scouts — Steve Prostor Cub Scout Roundtable Commissioner Managing Cub Scout Behavior: One of the developmental tasks of childhood is to learn appropriate
behavior. Children are not born with an innate sense of propriety, and they need guidance and direction. Grant Evans, Scoutmaster Troop 53 and Darien Public School Social Worker will lead a discussion on how to give the Scouts responsibility to help them think more deeply about positive attitudes, beliefs, values, norms, and actions.
Pinewood Derby: Racing in a Cub Scout Pinewood Derby is great fun. Participants learn craft skills, the rules of fair play, and good sportsmanship—things they will remember all their lives. You will learn how to encourage Scouts to actually build their own vehicle. Powahay has an earlier Pinewood Derby Race this year scheduled for March 30, 2019 and we want to make sure your winners are eligible to race. Join us of a review of Powahay Guidelines that we ask that you adopt for your Pack Race. Following district guide-lines will ensures a level race for all Scouts.
Summer Splash Weekend Camping Event — See flyer
Boy Scouts — William Shannon and Craig Schorr Boy Scout Roundtable Commissioner Fall Camporee Feedback: Do we like Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts camping together lower Hoyt? Do
we want to consider camping Boy Scout upper Hoyt separating from the Cub Scouts? How many troops take advantage of Webelos camping with them? Your suggestions for next year? Would your troop con-sider co-hosting a Camporee? Presented by John Hanks.
Winter Camping BSA Supplement Training: This training is intended for adult leaders to provide the adventure of winter camping to their outdoor program in a safe, yet challenging manner and to give tips on presenting this training to your youth members. It’s a great review for experienced leaders, to share their experiences and for troops to bring in new leaders to be trained. This is a BSA Supplement Course and Scouters will receive a certificate for taking the course. Presented by Evan Atkins, Assistant Scout-master Troop 9 Stamford.
