Additionally, this is a great opportunity to join in Scouting fellowship and network with other Area Two Scouters.
We will offer information, support tools, and know-how to help you be successful in your Scouting responsibilities. Presenting the latest methods, materials and best practices will be various national, regional and local volunteers as well as BSA professionals.
We will be offering 23 separate “breakouts” so there is truly something for everyone!! Key topics will include:
- Membership – Family Scouting, Scouts BSA and Exploring
- Program – NCAP, Resident Camping, Training, Sea Scouting, Venturing and Order of the Arrow
Commissioner Service - Leadership & Performance – Board Development & Engagement, JTE and District Operations
- And many more!
We are also excited to welcome several guest speakers who will present at our opening session and during lunch. Scott Berger, chairman of the National Scouts BSA Committee will serve as our keynote speaker. We will also be welcoming our Northeast Region president, Scott Christensen and Northeast Region director, John Mosby. Additionally, we are excited to have Dan Warren who serves as the BSA’s resident expert on youth development at the BSA National Service Center, to share his latest findings and trends, as well as Amy Hutcherson, who serves as our Northeast Region membership growth coach.
