Here's how the BSA defines this important part of being a Scout leader: Roundtable is a form of commissioner service and supplemental training for volunteers at the unit level. The objectives of roundtables are to provide leaders with program ideas; information on policy and events; and training opportunities. | |||
"The first thing you have to have is a Good Program! Material that is relevant to both the current themes (for Cub Scouts) or seasons (for Boy Scouts) and that stays at least One Month in Advance! What good is learning about Blue and Gold ideas in February? Or learning about Swimming Safety in July? These are needed much earlier. It also helps to have FUN in both programs. Trained leadership also on the RT Commissioner level is needed." (DaLane Cox) | |||
