Hello, and welcome to the Troop 457 Scoutmaster Minute Podcast. I’m your host, Mr. Maloney, and today is April 30, 2024. As always, RSVP links and all other pertinent information can be found in the show notes.
First off, we want to wish a very happy birthday to Patrick H. who is celebrating this week. We hope you have a fantastic day filled with joy and adventure!
Now, let’s talk about some upcoming deadlines. If you’re planning on joining us for the Crossover Campout on Friday, May 17, please make sure to RSVP by this Monday, May 6. It’s crucial that we receive your responses, either positive or negative, as soon as possible. This helps us plan better and ensure that we have enough food for everyone. In light of our growing troop membership, we’ll be discussing a proposed RSVP policy at an upcoming parents meeting, which will also cover Health Form and Permission Slip due dates.
In other news, if you’ve RSVPed for Summer Camp, you are now registered for Merit Badge classes! Mr. Matusiak will be reaching out soon to share your class schedules. If you would like to change your schedule, please contact him as soon as possible. Please note that we cannot guarantee the availability of your preferred merit badges.
Now, let’s move onto our reflection for this week. We turn to Robin S. Sharma, a renowned author and leadership expert, who once said, ‘Leadership is not about a title or a designation. It’s about impact, influence, and inspiration.’ This relates to our Scouting experience too. Leadership in scouting isn’t about rank or position; it’s about making a positive impact on your community, influencing others in a beneficial way, and inspiring those around you to do the same.
Looking ahead, our meeting this Tuesday, May 7 will be an Introduction to Camping hosted by the Cheesy Crusaders. We look forward to seeing you there.
That’s all for this episode of the Scoutmaster Minute Podcast. Remember, scouting is not only about learning and growing but also about making a difference in the world around us. Until next time, keep exploring!
