Leaders Meetings Topics

[SctDad]

We are getting ready to start having leaders meetings. We are getting more leaders and the quick here is the plans for X activity are not really gonna cut it for too much longer.

 

What kind of things does everyone go over in the leaders meetings. We are all just about fully trained except for a few minor things. We plan on discussing upcoming events. IS there anything else that I should include.

We do a joint meeting when we have meetings: Our Leaders and our committes met together and discus everything that is related.

 

For example: As leaders we might discuss awards and advancement, but the committee will talk about costs per awards, beltlops and such. Together we might decide that the pack only pays for the firdst two beltloops / pins a month and the parents coer the rest Vs the pack pays for all but we collect $2.00 den dues each week.

 

 

At rank graduation at our pack campout, we give all ATTENDING cubs the necker and book for the next rank. As leaders we may present ideas, the committes present the budgets and together we work it out.

 

It might not be exactly what you were talking about, but aside from trainings, we also talk about den breakdown, things that we all want to see at pack meetings, campouts, fun days, ceremonies and such.

 

There are discussions over den dues, den accounts, pack accounts, who can spend how much before getting approval and what kind of documentation is needed.

 

Now , for the most part, each den does it's own thing ( respectively) within it's own rank, but at times, we do a pack wide meeting of the minds and have all cubs do the same activity ( PWD display boxes, B&G presentations, etc).

 

Pretty much anything you do as a pack, ought to be discussed among theleadership and with the committee. If nothing else, it just keeps everybody on the same page and brings up any potential conflicts at a meeting instead of in front of the boys at a den or pack meeting.

The monthly Pack Leaders Meeting (there is no separate committee and den leader meetings) is run by the Committee Chair. It should cover a review of the last Pack meeting (roses/thorns type of thing), and an update on plans, and ceremonies, for the next one, or two. Dens advancement/award needs for the next Pack meeting are gone over. Upcoming Pack/den activities, and plans for future activities are discussed. Any upcoming monetary issues, and deadlines are discussed. The various chairs (outing, advancement, publicity, popcorn, etc) all give reports, and discuss any needs. Any other important issues are discussed.

 

A meeting at this time of year should include summer activities (what they are, who is in charge of each, and how plans for them are progressing). Plans for next program year (including getting all new leaders trained), and the date/time for the Pack's annual program planning meeting (if it has not been held yet) should also be discussed.

 

Basically anything and everything connected to the running of the Pack, and its dens, is discussed. Activities are planned as far in advance as possible, and plans updated monthly. Improvements to the Pack, and den, program are discussed, and implemented where possible/necessary.
