Service Unit Meetings
The Olentangy Service Unit holds monthly meetings for all troop leaders to share, learn, and keep everyone informed. Each troop should have at least one leader in attendance. Remember, due to space and volume, children may not attend the meetings unless they are presenters. Meetings begin promptly at 7pm. Please send all agenda items to olentangysuagenda@gmail.com by the first week of each month. Notes from each meeting are posted here.
All meetings will be held in the Orange Middle School cafeteria
