Monthly Recurring Events
First Wednesday of each month: District Committee Meeting

Order of the Arrow Chapter
Meeting and Commissioners Meeting -

Presbyterian Church at 6 North Street (no roundtables in July or

The monthly roundtable is the principal training and

have at least one representative attend each roundtable. Preferably, this
is the unit leader and/or assistant(s), but Committee Members and parents
are also encouraged to attend. Troop Senior Patrol Leaders and Venturing
Crew Presidents are also welcome. The Roundtable will start with a general
meeting for all positions, then there will be separate breakouts for Cub
packs, Scout troops, (hopefully) Venture/Explorer crews/posts, and
Commissioners. District Committee members and Chairs of District
program committees are also encouraged to attend Roundtables.
Third Wednesday of each month: Council Coordinated
Committees Meeting (council) - 7:00 - Baden-Powell Council
Office, Route 12, Kattelsville (Chenango Forks).
All of the council-level program committees (activities,
advancement, camping, membership, properties, and training) meet on the
same night each month at the Council Office. While this is not a
Taughannock District activity, as such, anyone from the district who is
interested in helping on any of these committees at the council level,
or who would like to meet the council chairmen and committee members on
any of the council committees is welcome to attend (for more
information, see the Baden-Powell Council website)
District Advancement Committee
Meeting: Fourth Thursday in Sep, Oct, Jan-Apr and Jun; third Thursday

August meeting - 7:00PM - TC3
The monthly District Advancement Committee meetings
will be a "one stop shopping" place for prospective Eagle
Scouts to get their projects reviewed and approved, meet with mentors,
and have their Eagle Board of Review. The Advancement Committee is also
charged with encouraging and coordinating advancement at all program
levels (Cub, Scout and Venturing). Each unit is requested to send a
representative to the District Advancement Committee - for more
