October Roundtable: Preparing for a Successful Fall Scouting Season

Join us this month for an informative Roundtable as we focus on several important topics that will help your unit succeed this fall. Whether you’re a Cub Scout, Scouts BSA, Venturing, Sea Scout, or Commissioner leader, there will be valuable information and resources to bring back to your unit.

Featured Topics

🔹 Introduction to MOVO’s Family Communication Tool

Learn about MOVO, a browser-based communication tool designed to help units and councils better connect with families.

MOVO can:

  • Answer questions using your organization’s knowledge and information.
  • Communicate with families on behalf of your organization.
  • Remember useful information families share.
  • Alert leaders when a family needs personal assistance or follow-up.

Discover how this powerful tool can improve communication, enhance family engagement, and support membership growth.

Why Attend?

âś… Learn practical ideas you can take back to your unit immediately.

âś… Share your successes and challenges with fellow Scouters.

âś… Discover ways to improve retention and strengthen the Scouting experience for youth.

âś… Connect with leaders from Packs and Troops who are committed to helping every Scout continue their Scouting journey.

Whether you’re a Cubmaster, Den Leader, Scoutmaster, Assistant Scoutmaster, Committee Member, or Commissioner, your perspective matters. Come ready to share ideas, ask questions, and help build a stronger pathway from Cub Scouts to Scouts BSA.

Together, we can ensure more Scouts continue their adventure and experience all that Scouting has to offer.

As always, please forward the invite to your unit’s parents as this is open to everyone.
