Roundtables

 

Roundtable is a uniformed activity. Please wear yours!

 

What is Roundtable ?

 

It is a training opportunity for the Boy Scouts of America and a learning opportunity for

  • YOU — the Unit Leader

​

Roundtables are:

  • Provide Networking with other leaders in Scouting

  • Informational — Providing leaders with the "skill-to-do."

  • Activities are useable by the units in the next month's meetings or in the future.

  • Motivational and inspire

  • NOT entertainment; it is a learning experience. Yet if it is done well, it can be entertaining, too. 

 

Attendees receive:

  • Flyers, announcements and information on upcoming Council events,

  • Skills and skits to use in your own program

​

The more members from your unit that attend, the more your unit will get out of Roundtable.

 

Keep your eye out for each month's agenda in your email.
