WHAT IS ROUNDTABLE?

Roundtable is a monthly program offered by each District that gives leaders hand-on experience and provides a forum for leaders to offer and receive help from their fellow Scouters.  There are separate sessions for Cub Scouts leaders and Scouts BSA leaders; most Roundtables begin with a joint session to hear announcements and upcoming even schedules that apply to all leaders.  In both sessions leaders are encouraged to share their questions, their successes and failures (usually the latter is the most instructive!).  Helping leaders is the sole purpose of Roundtable.

Who should attend?

Everybody!  Roundtable is designed for all leaders – Scoutmasters, Assistant Scoutmasters, Cubmasters, AOL Leaders, Webelos Leaders, Den Leaders, Committee Chairs/Members; every scouting position has a place at Roundtable.  Whether you’ve been in Scouting for 40 years, or just signed up last week, Roundtable has a lot to offer you!

Why should Commissioners attend?

Attendance at the monthly Roundtable allows the Commissioner to hear the latest information about upcoming events in the district/council, to meet with leaders of their assigned units, and to network with other unit/district leaders and commissioners.  It also gives the Commissioner the opportunity to share the RT information to unit leaders that are unable to attend.
