Session 2: Let the Calendar Build Itself - Tuesday, 7/7/26, 7 PM CDT

In Session 1, we advised you to start by building a 90-day calendar. But still, that might seem hard. No one likes to start with a blank page. Rather than trying to create everything at once, it's easier to start with something that already has structure.

"Anchor events" from school, community, and the scouting program can provide this structure. Put your unit's activities among the anchors and you've got a start on the calendar. See below to find your anchor events. The calendar's not perfect (and it doesn't have to be) but it's intentional.

  • Key Insight: Anchor events give structure to the calendar.
  • Focus: Add the anchor events to your calendar and then add your unit's activities.
  • Outcome: What seemed daunghting
  • Action Step: Gather the relevant school calendars, add district and council events, ID key community events, put in the major activities that are important to your unit.
