JTE 2.0 Guideposts 2 and 3 must be completed by August 31, 2017

Dear Unit Leaders

All units should now be getting close to 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 deadline gives each unit just under 3 weeks to complete the tasks and discuss the efforts with your Unit Commissioner.

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
http://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 your Unit Commissioner for additional help. If you do not know who your Unit Commissioner is or do not have one, please email me at [email protected] and include your unit number, name, and email address so that I may reply

Please get started now if you have not already done so and avoid a last minute rush in the last week of August.

Thank you to all those units that have already completed the guideposts.

Yours in Scouting
