Who should attend Roundtables?

The short answer is “YOU!” Roundtable is not just for Scoutmasters and Cubmasters! If you are reading this, you are either a registered Scout Leader or a parent of a Scout or Cub. As such, you are invited and encouraged to attend the monthly Roundtables.

Roundtable is the forum where you find out what is happening in our District and our Council, as well as learning more about Scouting and what you can do to improve the program that benefits your Scout.

At Roundtable, Cub Scout Leaders like you have a chance to look at the suggested program for the succeeding month and how to present it to the Cubs, share ideas for crafts and activities, and learn “best practices” from more experienced Cub Scouters.

At Roundtable, Boy Scout Leaders like you discuss outings and other activities, advancement, camping opportunities, and the latest in programs, equipment, and training to improve the way we guide our Scouts in their monthly and annual plans for Scouting the way it should be done.

Roundtables help us to present a “unified” program. The National Council and our Greater Alabama Council have programs, literature, and training that can benefit all leaders, but the only way we can learn about them is to attend Roundtables and get the “hot word”. Everything we do in Scouting doesn’t have to be done “by the book”, but if you don’t even know there is a book how can you do your best to fulfill the promise of Scouting?

Attend Three Rivers District Roundtable the first Thursday of each month (except July) at 7:00 p.m. at St. Vincent’s East Hospital in Classrooms 1 and 3 on the second floor near the Cafeteria. You won’t regret it!
