🚨🚨 Everyone!! If any of you or for some reason, any adult in your unit gets a text claiming to be from the “National Scout Team” directing you to update your unit pin for tomorrow’ BeAScout launch, with a link in the text, DO NOT CLICK the link. Do not reply to the text. While we do not yet know the nature or origins of these texts, we do know that that link is not safe, and not from the National Scout Team.

However, if you have not done so, you do need to go directly to BeAScout.org and update your unit pin. That link is safe!

Can you all believe that August is two days away already?!? Where has the summer gone?

So that being said, with the advent of August, it’s time to come back to Roundtable! Our program kick-off is next Thursday, August 6th at First Christian Church in Red Oak at 7pm. 1909 E Summit St to be exact.

It’s extremely recommended that at least one leader, or more, from every unit attends. If you have a New Member Coordinator, it’s strongly advised to bring them along! We have a lot of changes to membership for fall and beyond that we will be covering more in depth than the snippets on the physical agenda. There will not be a virtual option for this meeting.

This will also be a potluck! Please bring a goodie to share, whether a dessert or a side. Sarah Young will be providing very tasty pork carnitas as soon as she tells her husband because he is renown for his recipe! Just ask Roxanne of Troop 537 😉 Plates, napkins and silverware will be provided, but please bring your own soda or water.

We will be starting promptly at 7pm, so be sure to arrive between 6:30-6:45pm. This will give you time to get settled, sign in, and fill your plates!
