What is a roundtable?

- The roundtable is an important function of the district in that it provides supplemental training to leaders.

- The purpose of roundtable is to help units succeed by providing useful program ideas, information on policy, and current information on council and district events and training opportunities.

Why do we have roundtables?

- To provide leaders with skills, techniques, district and council information, usable program ideas, and the know-how to make pack, crew, and troop operation successful.

- To provide pack, troop, and crew leaders with the morale, enthusiasm, inspiration, and motivation that renews their desire to continue serving youth through Scouting.
