Roundup & Parents Meeting
The Roundup date is determined by council. Roundup is the day where the District and/or Council Members for the BSA go into the schools and make a presentation to all the boys and parents interested in learning more about scouting and/or joining a pack. We will not know the date until sometimes the day before it happens – though will let you all know as soon as we have a date confirmed. Typically, the week after the Roundup at Shiloh is the week we hold our Parent Information meeting to meet new families, go over any new policies, review the new calendar and recruit volunteers to serve as leaders and committee members. Based on the last 2 years – I would anticipate the Roundup occurring either August 17th, 24th or 31st.
Other Summer Activities
These are other activities in the area over the next few months that did not fit into our Pack Schedule – but that we thought you might like information on.
