JTE 2.0 GP 2 and 3 – Due Aug 31, 2017

Dear Unit Commissioners,

We should now be coaching all of our units on completing JTE 2.0 Guideposts 2 (Program and Funding Plan) and 3 (Communications Plan). These two guideposts must be successfully completed by August 31, 2017 in order to count towards JTE. That gives each UC just under 3 months to contact and work with units to complete the tasks.

Information on the guideposts and how to prepare for them can be found in the “2017-2018 Planning Calendar and Resource Guide” supplied by the Northern Star Council or can be found online at www.northernstarbsa.org/for-members/journey

I have included the guideposts below:

Guidepost 2: Plan and Fund Your Program
Develop a program and funding for your unit with your Unit Commissioner by Aug 31. (Troop and Crew plans should be youth-developed!)

Guidepost 3: Communicate Your Program
Develop a plan to communicate your program to families throughout the program year. Present to your Unit Commissioner by Aug 31. (Troop and Crew plans should be youth-developed!)

These guideposts are the same as in previous years and all units should be familiar in how to complete them.

If you have any questions on JTE you may contact me for additional help.

Let’s start early and avoid a last minute rush in the last week of August.

Thanks for your help.
