What is Roundtable ?
A message from Todd Hollis, Cub Scout
Roundtable Commissioner
(from Pages 15-17 of
the Cub Scout Roundtable Commissioners and Staff
Basic Training Manual -1999.)
It is an important function of the
Council where the upcoming monthly
Cub Scout program theme in action!
 It is a training
opportunity for the BSA and a learning opportunity for
YOU — the Cub Leader
The monthly Roundtables are the most effective medium for
getting the
Cub Scout program to
YOU —
the Cub Leaders
A quality Roundtable should be informational —
to provide leaders with
the "skill-to-do."
Activities at Roundtable must be usuable by the
packs in the next month's den and pack meetings.
The best method to
teach a skill is to "learn-by-doing."
A roundtable is not
entertainment; it is a learning experiecnce. Yet if it is done well, it
can be entertaining, too.
A quality roundtable can also be inspirational — it motivates
YOU — the Cub Leader
to "Do Your Best" for
your Cub Scouts
Attendees receive:
- Flyers, announcements and information on upcoming Cub and
Council
events,
- Roundtable Planning Guide Resource sheet with theme ideas for the
coming month.
The monthly theme of Roundtable is the theme
that the Pack will use the following month.

- A chance at each month's premium treasure.

The more members from your Pack that
