All meetings at 7:30 p.m. at the Scout House unless otherwise noted.

NOTES:

“Action officers” are the Assistant Scoutmasters in charge of that particular event and all planning for, and followup to, that event.  

 

Each meeting of the Patrol Leaders Council is responsible for planning all events (except Troop Committee) until the next PLC.

 

PLEASE NOTE:  Because of an unusual number of elections, in which the Scout House serves as a Falls Church polling station and is not available on election days, several specific meetings have been moved to Wednesday.   All such occurrences are listed below.

Note: Patrol meetings are for the younger patrols, to offer skills instruction and advancement.  The objective is to promote rank advancement.  Troop Guides are older Scouts who can instruct the younger Scouts.  Troop Guide is an Eagle-qualified leadership position; however, only those who participate in meetings with younger Scouts will receive credit.

 

For advancement:  The deadline for blue cards and Boards of Review is set for two weeks before each Court of Honor.  Scouts will be given the opportunity to sign up for a BOR in time for the Court of Honor.  Parents will be asked to volunteer for a board that will review several Scouts in turn.   Boards of Review should consist of adults who are NOT assistant Scoutmasters.  Scouts should be sure to contact Mr. Coleman for a Scoutmaster’s Conference BEFORE signing up for a Board of Review.

 

Please contact Scoutmaster or Troop Committee Chairman with any calendar updates:
