Netherlands vs Austria Netherlands Face Familiar Foes in Euro Cup Germany Gro...Eticketing.co
The Netherlands are in Group D in Euro Cup Germany - and, unpaid to this, they will be coming up against familiar foes. Remarkably, they have played France, who have fashioned some of the greatest players of all time, 30 times throughout history.

However, in 2023, they played one another twice, with France endearing both matches 4-0 and 2-1 individually. Against Poland and Austria, the Netherlands also have a stout record, winning just under half the matches. They faced Austria at Euro 2020, engaging 2-0, and they haven't lost to Poland since 1979.
The lettering is on the wall for Holland to qualify for the knockouts, but nothing is failsafe. The Netherlands kickstart their Euros campaign against Poland on Sunday, June 16th. In Hamburg, they will have to go up against one of the best strikers in the world, Robert Lewandowski.
Netherlands vs Austria: Tough Challenges Await the Netherlands in Euro Cup Germany
Five days later, they travel south to face France in Leipzig, a side led by Kylian Mbappe - one of the finest players in the world currently and one of the most impressive players in his nation's history. To conclude, they face Austria in Berlin, knowing it could be the end of the road if they don't perform.
Ronald Koeman is widely considered one of the more successful Dutch managers in Premier League history, considering the nation has a reputation for struggling to replicate their talents in England. The former Everton manager went against that script and shone — and now he is back managing his nation.

Netherlands vs Austria: Ronald Koeman's Tactical Approach For UEFA Euro 2024
As well as being the highest-scoring defender in history, Koeman is a man with immense tactical knowledge. He returned to manage Holland at the start of 2023 after it was announced Louis van Gaal would retire. His life back in the dugout with the team wasn't easy, as he lost his first match 4-0 to France after going 3-0 down within 21 minutes.
However, he eventually helped them qualify for Euro Cup Germany. The 61-year-old likes to organize his team with a defensive mindset. Some might call it pragmatic as he defends with minimal space between the lines, but that's often needed for international football.
Psaroudakis: Family and Football – The Psaroudakis Success StoryPsaroudakis
Psaroudakis, a name that resonates with football fans around the globe, is a testament to the powerful synergy between familial support and individual passion. Born on March 10, 1992, in the historic city of Heraklion, Crete, Psaroudakis’ journey to international football stardom is a compelling narrative of dedication, perseverance, and unwavering family support. His story not only highlights his athletic prowess but also underscores the crucial role his family played in shaping his career and character.
Psaroudakis’ early life in Heraklion was deeply influenced by a supportive and nurturing family environment. His father, a former semi-professional footballer, recognized Psaroudakis’ potential from an early age. Acting as his first coach, his father’s guidance was instrumental in igniting Psaroudakis’ passion for football. This paternal influence instilled in him a strong work ethic and fundamental skills that would become the foundation of his future success. His mother, a dedicated homemaker, provided a stable and nurturing environment, ensuring that Psaroudakis could pursue his dreams without any hindrances.
From a young age, Psaroudakis showed an innate talent for football. Growing up in Heraklion, he spent countless hours playing football in local parks and streets with friends and family. His natural ability was evident even in these informal settings, and his enthusiasm for the game was infectious. By the age of five, Psaroudakis had joined a local youth football club, where his skills began to flourish. His father’s role as his first coach during these formative years was crucial, as he emphasized not only technical skills but also the importance of discipline and teamwork.
The transition from playing in local parks to joining a structured football environment marked a significant step in Psaroudakis’ journey. At the age of ten, he joined the youth academy of OFI Crete, one of Greece’s most esteemed football clubs. This move marked the beginning of a more rigorous and professional approach to his training. The academy environment was demanding, focusing on honing technical abilities and instilling values of sportsmanship and dedication. Psaroudakis’ dedication to his craft was evident as he quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a standout player in the youth teams.
The support of Psaroudakis’ family was unwavering during this critical period. His father continued to be a source of guidance and mentorship, while his mother ensured that he had everything he needed to succeed. Their collective efforts created a balanced environment where Psaroudakis could focus entirely on his development as a footballer. This familial support was not just about providing the basics; it was about creating an environment where Psaroudakis felt encouraged and motivated to pursue his dreams relentlessly.
As Psaroudakis transitioned from the youth academy to professional football, the challenges became more significant.
Belgium vs Romania Injuries and Patience in Belgium’s Euro Cup Germany Squad....Eticketing.co
Belgium coach Domenico Tedesco will wait for several key players to recover from injury. Even if it means they miss the opening Euro Cup Germany stages of the European Championship in Germany this month. Veteran defender Jan Vertonghen, midfielder Youri Tielemans and defender Arthur. Theate are being given time to play in the tournament because they are considered vital to Belgium’s cause, Tedesco said on Tuesday.

"Of course, you prefer to take players who are fully fit, but that's okay. We want to wait and be patient for some players even if they cannot play in those first matches," he told a press conference. The 37-year-old Vertonghen, Belgium’s Euro Cup 2024 most-capped international with 154 appearances, is struggling to shake off a groin injury.
"He will be there normally. This also applies to Youri Tielemans and Arthur Theate. The latter's position is very sensitive. We don't have many choices at left back. "It will only change if it turns out that they will only be available when, say, the final of the Euro 2024 Championship comes around. That's too long to wait. "However, I am confident that the injured boys are on track for the Euros.
Belgium vs Romania: Radu Dragusin Prepares for Crucial Role in Euro Cup Germany
Some of them have taken not one but two steps forward in their rehabilitation," he said. None of the injured players will feature in this week’s warm-up friendlies against Montenegro and Luxembourg. Romania centre-back Radu Dragusin found chances limited at Tottenham Hotspur in the second half of the 2023-24 season.
But is crucial to his country's cause at UEFA Euro 2024 where his aerial ability, physicality and hard graft make him a standout player. The 22-year-old moved to North London from Italian side Genoa in January but was kept on the sidelines by the form of another new arrival for the season, Mickey van de Ven, something Romania coach Edward Iordanescu admitted was a concern.
It will mean limited game-time going into the finals, but Dragusin, who cites Netherlands defender Virgil van Dijk as a role model, started every Euro Cup Germany qualifier as Romania went through the campaign unbeaten in their 10 games. He will be among their most important players in their first game in Germany against Ukraine in Munich on June 17, taking the right centre-back role in what is likely to be a back four.

• Working with the COR and the Committee Chair, the unit
committee is an unequalled resource for aid.
• The Unit Commissioner is to work with both the COR and the
Committee Chair to see that an active committee is set up and in
full operation.
• The committee is to have at least the minimum positions filled,
as requested by the district. Cubs: Chair, Advancement,
Membership, Primary Counselor, and Trainer – for Scouts add
Secretary/Treasurer, Primary President, & Outdoor/Activities.
• It may be necessary to convince the COR and/or the Committee
Chair of the advantages to the leaders and the boys that a
committee staffed with each of these positions can provide .
Page 35 GCR 2005
36. The Commissioner and
Youth Protection
The Boy Scouts of America is deeply concerned
about the general welfare of our children.
Commissioners can help in several ways:
•Remind LDS leaders to hand out registration forms
when calling Scout leaders; wait a week after
submission for clearance of background
check before sustaining.
•Remind unit leaders to always have a
second adult with them when meeting
with the boys.
•Youth Protection training required every two years.
•Promote use of videos: Cubs with parents (at home?)
Others in group settings – parents optional.
•Explain boy’s handbook inserts (role of Trainer).

Reminder of what a commission is. ‘ To bring together’ or ‘to send to someone.’ A Commission is to have authority from someone to to bring together a group for a specific reason. What is a Commissioner? Someone given authority from someone else to represent them. So, What is a Scouting Unit Commissioner? Someone given authority to represent the Boy Scouts of America to the Unit. Or, to bring them together. The Unit Commissioner is the only person given the authority to represent the BSA to a unit. The Unit Commissioner receives a commission by volunteering and finishing the Basic Training Course.
Continuation.
Consider the objectives.
In a multiple – day course setting, Commissioners would report on their first visit and tell of the experience. Otherwise they are to report to their Assist District Commissioner. How often should you visit? Monthly What is a ‘Unit Contact?’ Review of the “Unit Contacts” section of the Commissioner Fieldbook for more information.
Everything that happens in a program year starts with a plan. Unit Commissioner can be a great resource to a Cubmaster and a pack committee if they understand the program planning process and tools. Review the information shown on the slide. Cub Scout and Webelos Scout Program Helps are set up for a year at a time. Pack Program Planning Chart—a great worksheet. Go over the Pack program planning conference.
Troop planning follows a process, as does the pack planning, but it involves the boys in much more of the planning. Consider both the Resources and the Planning Steps shown on the slide. Troop Program Features manuals (3 manuals, 12 themes in each). Each theme has a four week schedule with a 90 minute troop meeting outlined. A standard Boy Scout meeting should include each of the following: Pre-opening activity – non-physical activity for the early arrivers. LDS Mutual opening exercises. Opening of Scout Meeting/Ceremonies – Flag, Oath, Law (takes such a small amount of time, but carries so much significance); opening song; review of theme; upcoming campout; announcements. Skills Presentation – a boy demonstration of what will be taught in part of the Patrol Meeting. Patrol Meeting – hands on learning of tonight’s skill, patrol business. Activities – tied to theme if possible, ideas found in the Troop Program Resources manual. Closing - Scoutmaster Minute, closing song, retrieval of colors, closing prayer. Scouting Magazine and Boys ’ Life Program Notebooks for Boy Scout Leaders contains the suggested theme for the upcoming month(s). You can get a better understanding of program planning at Leader Position -Specific Training.
Team planning follows a process, as does the pack and troop planning, but as the coach, you sit on the sidelines while the young men do most of the planning. Consider the material shown on the slide. Basics of the Varsity program. There Five Areas of Emphasis, with a youth leader assigned to each: Advancement, High Adventure/Sports, Personal Development, Service, and Special Programs/Events. Designated Adults work with each of the youth leaders to plan the program for that area of emphasis: Advancement – Advancement member of Committee, High Adventure/Sports – Asst. Varsity Coach, Personal Development – Varsity Coach, Service – Committee Chair, and Special Programs/Events – Outdoors/Activities member of Committee. Varsity Scout Game Plan contains outlines for meetings, activities and adventure camps. Great ideas are found in the Varsity Team Program Features. Ideas for Activities are found in the Troop/Team Program Resources manual. You can get a better understanding of program planning at Varsity Leader Position-Specific Training.
In Crew program planning, crew officers play a central role, with as many crew members as possible involved. Consider the material shown on the slide View a copy of: Program Capability Inventory. Filled out by the adults in the Chartered Organization through the Venturing Committee. Venturing Activity Interest Survey. Filled out by the Venturers. The group votes and decides what they want to do. After they have decided, they call upon the Adults who are listed on the Program Capability Inventory to help them carry out the activity/program. Locally developed material is available to simplify the process.
There is a separate form in the Commissioner Fieldbook for Packs, Troops/Teams, and Crews. Make copies.
The online video is quite helpful if you have not used the system previously. There are four areas in which to record info. Leaders above you can read your report, but may not make changes to it.
This is the first area to fill out for the online report.
The second area.
The third area.
This four area is optional. It is designed to remind you of areas where you want to help.
Don’t be overwhelmed.

Summary
What would the Committee you visit like for you to do for its family of Scouting?
Understanding the roles of the Committee as listed. Leader burn-out can be one result of a Committee not functioning.
Understanding the roles of the Committee as listed for multiple families of Scouting. Leader burn-out can be one result of a Committee not functioning.
Think of a personal experience with an active Committee. How could you be helpful in bringing about a similar experience for the Committee you are working with?
SS #, Drivers License #, and DOB required for registration and background check. Learn proper procedures of what to do if child abuse occurs. Periodically remind Unit Leaders and Committee Members at Committee meetings. A Time To Tell – Cubs. It Happened To Me – Scouts. Personal Safety Awareness – Varsity & Venturers.
Go over the guidelines.
Review what has been covered in this section This is the end of the part 2. Now go and visit a boy or youth meeting of your unit and report to your Assistant District Commissioner.
