Round Table Social

Wednesday 6/8/16

Philadelphia Protestant Home

Our last Round Table of the scouting year is fast approaching, and we are having a social with some light refreshments. We are asking everyone that is coming to bring some shareable food and or drinks. There will be some summer announcements followed by some scouting camaraderie. This is a great opportunity to meet some of the new faces at district and reconnect with some close friends.

*** Special Guest: Dan Templar - Cradle of Liberty's Chief Scout Executive***

Next year we will have a new team heading up our Round Tables. As a district we would like to thank Bob Houston for his commitment to Round Table for the last few years.

Here are the names of our new Round Table Team:

Ron Plies - Round Table Commissioner

Peter LaVelle - Boy Scout Round Table Chair

Dolly Dempsy - Cub Scout Round Table Chair

ROOSEVELT DAY CAMPS UPDATES

Here in Roosevelt we have the opportunity to have two day camps in and near our district. This means that we need four staff directors, two for each camp. Next year one of our Day Camp Directors will be attending the National Jamboree, and will not be able to attend Day Camp. If any adult leaders would like information about being one of our Day Camp Directors please contact Mick Davis either by his cell at 215.266.2847 or email him at mfdavisfish@hotmail.com

Has your cub scout signed up for Day Camp yet? Its not too late! Registration for our Day Camps will close two weeks before each camp. We are also looking for adult volunteers, and Den Chiefs (Boy Scouts). You need to sign up for Day Camp through the council website (https://www.colbsa.org/daycamp.html).
