New Zekiah District Executive
Hello Scouters!
My name is Geoffrey Thomas, Zekiah’s new District Executive. It is a pleasure to be here in Charles County and look forward to being an active part of the community.
For a brief history, I have been a DE for the Colonial Virginia Council in Newport News, VA, previously. I am a third generation Eagle Scout. Like many of you, I have had several BSA responsibilities such as Troop Committee Chair, Scoutmaster, and Unit Commissioner. Marie, my wife of 18 years, and I have owned several businesses prior to joining the BSA. We have two sons, a 14 year old soon to be an Eagle and, yes…. this Summer, our 6 year old becomes a Tiger Cub! The Thomas’ are big on scouting!
I am looking forward to meeting everyone and their units in the upcoming District meetings, Good Scouter (May 16) and District Dinner (Late May). I chose this profession because I wanted to support the incredible volunteers that make the Scouting program work. Please, if I can be of any assistance, I can easily be reached at 301-861-6461 or geoffrey.thomas@scouting.org.
Congratulations to all the new Ordeal candidates from this weekend's camporee. We look forward to seeing our new candidates and our fellow Arrowmen at the Spring Ordeal May 4-6 at Lion's Camp Merick. See the Amangamed-Wipit Lodge webiste for more info and see you there!
Respectfully,
Geoffrey Thomas

Roundtable
Hello Zekiah District Scout Leaders,
The next Zekiah Roundtable is Thursday, May 10th, 2012 starting at 7:15.
Roundtables take place at the LDS Church in White Plains
The program starts at 7:30 with about 15 minutes of general District news
and information. This is followed by separate Cub and Boy Scout breakout
sessions that last no longer than 60 minutes.
What is Roundtable?
a.. A place for fun and fellowship.
b.. A place to share ideas and ask for help!
c.. Part of the commissioners' service to provide continuing education and
supplemental training for leaders and interested adults.
d.. Your first source for the most up-to-date information on events,
training opportunities, policy, etc.
Which Scout Leaders Attend Roundtable?
Roundtables are designed for ALL Leaders – from den leaders (tiger, wolf, bear and webelos)
through scoutmasters, Committee chairs, and members to future leaders, and any other
interested adult who wish to learn more about the program. In other words,
SCOUT ROUNDTABLE IS FOR EVERYONE!
We would like to see one representative from each Pack and Troop every month to bring
back the news/information. Can't make it on Thursdays, set up a monthly
rotation among all your Leaders
