Monthly Roundtable
Roundtable is our monthly gathering for unit and district leaders. This is a great way to learn about upcoming events and activities, camping and training opportunities, program updates, new Scouting initiatives, and get ideas to make your Scouting program better.
Round table is held the first Thursday of every month (except July) at 7:00 PM
Monthly District Commissioner Meetings
Commissioners are experienced Scouting volunteers who serve as friends to the unit to learn what they do well and what needs they have. Commissioners share that information so the district can better meet the needs to units to be more successful. Unit Commissioners serve as a key communication and relationship link between the unit leaders and district and council volunteers.
Commissioner Meetings are held the first Thursday of every Month (except July) at 6:00 PM
Monthly District Committee Meetings
