As a spark for others, here are the breakout topics for Boy Scout leaders and Cub Scout leaders in my district over the last eight years. It is a mix of Planning Guide / Philmont topics and our own local ideas. Green grids for Boys and tan grids for Cubs. We do two 15-20 minute topics each month to a group of many positions. We hope that everyone will get something out of at least one of the subjects each month.
When we planned in August, we were hoping that the books would soon be published, so we left gaps for some of this year's topics. We will get it figured out soon, now that we know that nothing else is on its way. Best wishes for next year.
Most topics are self explanatory. "Wood Badge Ticket" is a placeholder, as usually one or two recent Wood Badge participants wish to address a topic with one of our break out sessions in order to complete a ticket. We welcome this opportunity and now make room for it. If no requests are made, then we discuss the Wood Badge program itself as the topic.
And I also encourage everyone to look at the archives of the Baloo Bugle, going back to 1996, for other Roundtable topic ideas. The current issues are being restyled, but the archives are a wealth of combined Scouting knowledge. http://usscouts.org/bbugle.asp
