What is Roundtable?
The monthly Roundtable is a networking event designed to provide learning opportunities, training, advice, and fellowship for all adults involved with the Scouting program.
It is a great place to meet and exchange ideas with other unit leaders, district volunteers, and Commissioners, and to learn from their experiences. We discuss program topics for your unit and upcoming events to help make sure your pack, troop, or crew is moving in the right direction.
We’ll see you there!
