Navigators and Adventurers (and their parents),
Leadership Academy is this Saturday, Aug 20, from 1-4pm at Newheart Church. During this session we will provide our senior Trailmen with leadership tools they can use during their time in Trail Life and into adulthood. Trailmen should come in uniform and ready to learn some great leadership lessons.
During one of our sessions we will be covering some leadership in action. In preparation for this lesson please watch the movie Midway (2019) and we will focus on several scenes. For more information visit this (link) and the password to login password was emailed out to the troop. I have included several questions for the Trailmen to be prepared to discuss on Saturday.
This is a requirement for youth to hold leadership positions. We will ask the Trailmen to submit their "dream sheets" which is their opportunity to let the troop leadership know what youth leadership position the individual Trailman would like to hold this season. Please let me know if your Trailman can't make it and I will arrange for a makeup assignment.
I look forward to seeing the Navigators and Adventurers this Saturday!
Walk Worthy,

As a newer Troop starting out – I have looked for existing and inspiring troop models and I keep coming back to the Simi Valley Troop website and admire how well your troop organizes and does things. Great Job; way to Walk Worthy! That said, I would like to understand your Leadership Academy, that you held Saturday Aug 20. We have 13 Navigators (all Recruit), and only 3 Adventurers (all Journey). Most of our meeting materials has been assembled by Trail Guides, and we want to start using the Patrol method and setting the Adventurers up for Patrol Leader and Officer assignments. Could you share what that Leadership Academy consisted of? Thanks for any assistance you can provide. Great Job Simi Valley!
