The master of ceremonies for the Americanism Breakfast was Theodore Roosevelt reinactor Joe Wiegand to did a fantastic job of not only playing TR, but working in a number or relationships with the BSA.
Some other information from the meeting:
- There have been questions about how to register 18-20 year olds in a troop with the upcoming training requirements. There is a registration category of "College Reserve" that can be used for those new adults that does not have particular training requirements.
- A new "Be A Scout" program will be rolled out this summer which works with Google to put a Cub Scout, Boy Scout, or Venturing logo for a pin on Google Maps so someone looking for a unit in your area can find out where all the units are in the area.
- I heard that the Scouting Community is no longer working on any updates or modifications. Nothing on what the future plans are.
- A new quality program is being developed for next year that should be out this fall. It will take the place of the Centennial Quality program which ends this year.
- The national strategic plan was presented. The plan has seven pillars with objectives under each and goals under each objective. The seven pillars are: Impact & Participation, Resources & Finances, Building our Brand, Dynamic & Relevant, Innovation & Technology, Advocacy & Relationships, and Leadership & Culture.
