In this episode of the Compass Points Podcast, I led off with a bunch of activities and dates that are coming up in the near future. The rest of the podcast is a rebroadcast of the panel discussion from our inaugural Social Media Super Committee meeting which was an attempt to bring together as many social media administrators as possible from Scouting in the Cascade Pacific Council. The group included admins of everything from troop and pack pages to OA and other affiliate groups. I learned a lot and I hope to pass it along to you. The episode runs a bit longer than usual as a result. Thank you for listening.

In this episode, Jim Bergman brings you up to date with goings on in social media this summer at the council. Our main feature is a discussion between Matt Devore and Matt Haller recorded in June. They discussed Friends of Scouting and the overall health of Scouting in the Cascade Pacific Council.

This episode is largely part of an interview I did earlier in the year with Todd McDonald. This particular excerpt is on the upcoming popcorn sale. Todd talks about how the sale works and can help fund the Scouting experience for the individual and the Council.

In this episode, I interview Jerry Schleining, aka Scoutmaster Jerry, of the mighty troop 664. Jerry has been working this year to integrate his troop into a vertical Scouting model along with a Pack and Crew of the same number and charter organization. His group has seen a significant increase in membership as a result. Jerry shares some of the triumphs and challenges of this approach.

In this episode, Jim Bergman, Social Media Manager at CPCBSA, is sitting in for Adam and Jerry. He interviews Todd McDonald about the council's 100th anniversary programs and activities. He also interviews Jeff Aradine about Jamboree 2017 and Jeff's memories of past jamborees.
