BSA Best Practices

Dr. Geoffrey Zoeller, Patriots' Path Council's vice president for membership and relations asks:  "Did you know that councils and units from all over the nation have Best Practices posted on the BSA website?  These focus on recruitment and retention."

    Town Round tables are a great tool to develop a cohesive effort across the units in a town.

    A town Roundtable may discuss: 1. Recruiting and Retention 2. Events 3. Service 4. Discuss scouting initiatives 5. Develop a sense of community A town roundtable is NOT a substitute for a Unit Committee or a District Roundtable. DRTs focus on general program guidance & training; a Town RT focuses on specific coordination issues within a small group. It is not a blending of units. Units have their own programs; a Town RT addresses issues of mutual interest and mutual aid.

    Try quarterly for meeting frequency...

    Posted on the best practices site (aothough poorly indexed) @ https://bestpracticesportal.scouting.org/Lists/Best%20Practice%20Entry/BestPracticeEntry.aspx?ID=396

    There is a 2-pp pdf posted there also that provides additional info on the topic that has been piloted extensively in PPC
