Cranberry Harbors District Nov. 2024 Roundtable

Thanks to all who participated in our November Roundtable on 11/6, and thanks to Sean Kisler for his excellent demonstration “Hiking and Backpacking: keeping your load light”. Due to participant interest, Sean’s presentation was extended and the planned breakout sessions were deferred until December.
Slides from the session are posted below (adjusted to include the Mayflower Council announcement slide set which was not available when the RT slides were prepared) along with the safe hiking in the fall – hunting season awareness material discussed in our safety moment.
Our December Roundtable will be held at the Furnace Brook Middle School, Marshfield on Wed. Dec. 4 and will also be broadcast on the council’s zoom link. This will be a “Class B” session, and will conclude with a “bring your favorite Scout dessert” social. Planned topic will be how to celebrate the holidays in a multi-ethnic/religious sensitive manner. Breakouts are deferred from Nov., with cubs addressing “How to keep the momentum going after recruitment” and Troop/Crew/Ship addressing “Integrated Leadership Skills Training (ILST)”. Please plan to participate.
