Arrowhead District Roundtable
Town Hall is a district monthly meeting typically held the second Thursday of the month at the St. Justin Martyr Catholic Church - CFC Room #106 (13350 Ashford Point Dr., Houston, 77082) at 7:00 pm to help unit leaders plan and carry out their own program. The town hall (roundtable) is a form of supplemental training for volunteers. The objective of the town hall (roundtable) is to give leaders program ideas, information on events and training opportunities, and an opportunity to share experiences and enjoy fun and fellowship with other Scouting leaders. As a result of the town hall (roundtable) experience, unit leaders will be inspired, motivated, informed, and able to provide a stronger program for their Scouts.
Arrowhead District Committee Meetings
District Committee meetings are typically held the first Thursday of every month from 7:00 - 8:00 pm at Troop 1116 Scout Shack, 402 Eldridge Rd, Sugarland, TX (Across the street from Sugar Land First United Methodist church near the Perry Abernathy Recreation center parking lot) .Consisting of chartered organization representatives (CORs) and elected district committee members, the district committee coordinates the functions of the district. The purpose of the district is to work through chartered organizations and community groups to organize and support successful units. The end result of effective district support is more and more youth members receiving a better and better program. All districts are responsible for carrying out four standard functions:
1) The membership function strives for growth through the organization of new Scouting units and through new members and adult volunteers joining existing units and working to retain current members.
2) The finance function sees that the district provides its share of funds to the total council operating budget.
3) The program function concentrates on helping Scouting units with camp promotion; special activities including community service; training adult volunteers; and youth advancement and recognition.
4) The unit service function provides direct coaching and consultation by district volunteers for unit adults to help ensure the success of every Scouting unit.
Arrowhead District Commissioner Meetings
Commissioner meetings are typically held the second Thursday of the month at the St. Justin Martyr Catholic Church - CFC Room #106 (13350 Ashford Point Dr., Houston, 77082) during roundtable. The commissioners review specific unit needs, discuss ways to support unit growth in the Journey to Excellence criteria, examine ways to promote events and provide resources to units, support on-time charter renewal, and evaluate ways to help the units and district maintain the standards of the Boy Scouts of America. The unit service function is carried out by the district commissioner staff.
Arrowhead Chapter Meetings
OA chapter meetings are typically held the Third Sunday of the month at 2:00 pm at Troop 1116 Scout Shack - 431 Eldridge Rd, Sugar Land, Tx 77478 (Scout Shack across the street from the Sugar Land First Methodist Church - Next door to the Perry Abernathy Recreation Center). The Order of the Arrow (OA) is the national honor society of the Boy Scouts of America and recognizes Scouts and Scouters who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives. The Order of the Arrow provides encouragement for others to live these ideals as well. Arrowmen are known for maintaining camping traditions and spirit, promoting year-round and long-term resident camping, developing leaders, and providing cheerful service to others. OA service, activities, adventures, and training for youth and adults are models of quality leadership development and programming that enrich, support and help to extend Scouting to America's youth. The purpose of the meetings is for Arrowmen and the OA unit representatives to plan and carry out their program supporting their troop, chapter, lodge, section and national programs. The objective is to give program ideas, information on events and training opportunities, and an opportunity to share experiences and enjoy fun and fellowship with other Arrowmen. As a result of the experience, the Arrowmen will be inspired, motivated, informed, and able to provide a stronger program for youth in the program.
