Planning Schedule

Troop Outings Planning Schedule

• PLC Planning Reminders:

  • If you are in PLC ( having role like patrol leader, SPL, ASPL, troop guide, outdoor ethics guide, etc. ) we meet every 3rd  week of the month at 6:00 on a Thursday, so after the meeting you just head upstairs to the troop meeting at 7:00

  • Adult and Scout Coordinators should attend the three PLC meetings prior to the outing.

  • 3 PLC Meetings prior: introduce outing to PLC; give them an overview of the outing and discuss ideas for outing activities and troop meeting activities (activities that will help the scouts prepare for the outing).

  • 2 PLC Meetings prior: review ideas from prior meeting; finalize outing agenda and assign planning tasks; decide on troop meeting activities and make assignments.

  • 1 PLC Meeting prior: finalize plans for outing and troop meetings.
