Manila Varsity Coaches / Teachers Advisers,
Thank you to the 3rd, 11th and 8th wards who have already RSVP'd for our stake's Varsity Vision over-nighter. If you missed my other email, this is a special course that is mainly for units in our stake (although we'll probably have others there). The objective of the course is to train your Varsity Team (youth and adults) on the Varsity program while having fun at the same time. It's a great way to get everyone in your unit on the same page. The course will be held on April 26-27. The cost is $10 per participant (youth and adults) and includes all food. For those that have not yet responded, please let me know if your Team/Quorum is planning on attending.
OTHER STUFF!
Citizenship in the Nation Merit Badge Round-up on January 26th at the Mahogany building at 8am.
University of Scouting - Some great training is being offered by our council this year. If you have not heard the "Trails to Testimony" training from Brad Harris (former LDS YM board member), I recommend it. Register online: http://www.utahscouts.
Our stake is now in the Alpine District. We are looking forward to our association with all the great leaders in the Alpine District. Because of this move, Roundtable is now on the 2nd Thursday each month, with the exception of next month, it will be on the first Thursday, February 6th (due to Valentines). For information on district activities, visit the Alpine District Website - http://alpinedistrictbsa.

Leader Specific Training - Our previous district held these during Roundtable. Our new district does not yet offer this. If you or one of your adult leaders need training on the Varsity program, let me know, we schedule a training just for the leaders of our stake.
Again, if you could let me know what your plans are for our Varsity Vision over-nighter that would be great! :-)
