In the nearly 12 months since the entire family has been in- District Articles vited to participate in BSA programs, Sioux Council has welcomed over 150 Page 14 families into Cub Scouts. “Thank you” and “we love it” are just a few of the Annual Meeting comments we are hearing from around the council.

Scouts BSA Female Troop Reminders

As female troops begin to register with the Sioux Council, the council membership committee has asked that a meeting be held between the district executive, the chartered partner and the new troop committee prior to paperwork being completed and the troop becoming official. The pur- pose of the meeting is to review the main points of chartering a female troop. Below are the talk- ing points of this meeting. Many questions have been answered already, just by having this thirty- sixty minute discussion!

Names CANNOT use “girl” in front of “scouts” CAN use “troop for girls”, “girl troop”, etc CANNOT compare BSA to Girl Scouts CANNOT create your own recruiting materials. You must use materials from the BSA Brand Center

Partners/Programs CAN use a current chartered partner for male or female troops CAN use a completely different partner for troops CAN use the current troop number for female troops, if a “partner” program (at a location with a male troop)

Organization/Structure CAN have a male scoutmaster MUST have at least one over 21, registered, female for any activity involving female youth MUST have at least 2 registered adults, both over 21, at every activity CANNOT be scoutmaster of male and female troop. CAN share troop committee and other roles

Activities/Meetings/Events CAN share meeting time and place CAN share meeting opening and closing CANNOT share other meeting components CAN plan events together (must ensure Guide to Safe Scouting and Youth Protection re- quirements are met) CANNOT combine patrols

For questions, contact your district executive.

Sioux Council 2019-2020 Program Planning

In order to help every unit, and provide the best program possible, each district will once again be conducting the Annual Program Planning Seminar at their April Roundtable.

A representative from your Unit will need be in attendance to qualify for the bonus popcorn sale commission, so we strongly recommend that your unit have a somone there to insure you get the maximum funds from the Popcorn Sale.

One of the single most important things a unit can do, along with having trained lead- ers, is to develop an annual program calendar. This helps every parent in the unit know what will be happening in the next year and when. This is especially important to be able to give to new families when they join. Along with developing the calendar is the development of the budget to support the great program. This way every family will know what their responsibility is and why involvement in fundraisers is so important. Also keep in mind that your one-page budget and one-page calendar are due at the Au- gust Popcorn and Membership Kickoffs.

Popcorn in the Sioux Council! Popcorn in March?!! You bet! Council Popcorn Kernel Holly Hawkinson is leading the 2019 charge again and we have some great ideas to help out the districts and units. We listened to the feedback from last year and are going to focus on the nuts and bolts of being a unit chair, best prac- tices for inventory control, timelines, etc. In addition to the procedural items we will share success stories, ways to get units pumped up, etc. We also will work on passing on information about the “behind the scenes’ happenings with popcorn. When does the big order actually get placed? How does it ship? Who sorts it all? What CAN the council return? So what CAN a Scout do for pro- gramming after a great sale? How do we get families to understand a months worth of selling make for a years worth of not having to write another check for great programs? If you are interested in being a district or unit kernel, just have questions about what the program is all about, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the Sioux Council professional in your district. If you are someone who loves the thrill of sales, seeing Scouts learn the value of hardwork and reap the benefits, we’d love to hear from you!
