  2. What is the current Program System?

  3. What is a Program?

  4. Programs: • What we do during the meeting • How many scouts can orient a map and compass and not get lost on a 10 day trek… (If you think you can, go to Philmont for a day )

  5. Programs’ Job: • Teach scout skills • Fill meeting time • Be fun!

  6. Programs’ Job Continued: • *Provide the skills necessary for a campout for that month… • Provide the older scouts a chance to be in front of a large group and practice public speaking… • Provide everyone a chance for leadership…

  7. Meeting style: • Still monthly rotation based on calendar which means: • Rattlesnakes = November • Ninja = December • Wolf = January

  8. Chart Note: This will be online at www.troop876.com under FORMS • Patrols are responsible for the scout skills that fall in their month • The chart on the next slide is the 2014 Chart

  9. How the patrol method works: • The senior patrol leader is the top; all issues that cannot be resolved at lower levels are brought to him before adults • ASPLs assist patrol leaders in solving problems and help SPL monitor patrol progress • Patrol leader assigns roles in patrol, designates days for meeting and oversees meetings • Scouts in patrol are broken into groups/ stations for which they are the expert of that part of the skill (For example: Fire starting-station 1: Safety – need two scouts who study the BSA safety rules and present safety to each patrol as it rotates through) *ASM for month is there to assist the patrol leader make meeting times and bring in any resources, but does not have to do any work*

  10. How a meeting should go: • Patrol meets at Mt. Pisgah/ location 15-30 Mins. early to setup station and go over everything one last time • Flags (7:00 Pm) • Introduction of topic by Patrol leader • Patrol leader breaks up the people into the audience by patrol into groups by patrol (or other groups based on number of scouts present)

  11. Continued: • Each group goes to their station where the patrol experts are waiting: • Explain their station • Demonstrate the skill in a real life scenario • Guide the scouts through that skill or give them their own real life scenario and help them through it • Enable: Check to see everyone learned the material with a game/ race/ test • Switch Stations • Repeat as necessary • Reconvene in Chapel/ CFLC • Scout master minute

  12. How to Plan: • Start 2 months out at the patrol leader’s house, library, etc. with a meeting of the patrol and ASM. • Ask: • What do we have to do/ teach • When do we have to teach it/ what topic for what week • Where do we want to have the meeting • Why: what do we hope to accomplish • Who can help • How do we teach it/ what stations can we make/ what skills can we break it down into (Note: Almost everything needs first aid)

  13. Check in with the PLC • The PLC is requiring a brief statement two months out on what your program is going to be about • One month out, the PLC will require the written (TYPED) plan for the month your patrol is responsible for

  14. Start the Plan Meet again after the 2 month PLC and before the 1 month PLC and type your plan: • Write down the skill • Write down the stations • Write down the requirements to be taught at each station • Have patrol members partner up and pick a station

  15. Continued: • Patrol leader instructs each partner group to research their topic and develop an E.D.G.E. plan (Typed): • What will they explain at first (fully typed out) • What they will demonstrate and materials necessary • How they will guide every single person who comes through their station/ what real life scenario they will use • How they will ensure everyone has learned the skill • The patrol leader monitors the progress of each partner group and ensures all requirements are met

  16. Night of meeting: • Get to meeting early to setup stations in field, practice, gather materials, etc. (NOTE: It would be helpful to notice in your calendars which nights we have the CFLC and which nights we have the chapel and plan accordingly…) • After flags and announcements, the patrol leader takes control, instructs the troop in what to do, and presents the introduction…

  17. Things to Consider: • www.troop876.com → Forms • E.D.G.E. • 2 Months Out • PLC Requiring Typed plan 1 month before • PLAN (A meeting without a plan is a waste of time) This is not the ASM's job. They Should NOT Have to Do Anything.
