Date/Time: Thursday at 7 PM (10^th of August)

Location:      Horizon Christian Academy, Address: 1270 Sawnee Drive; Cumming, GA 30040

Purpose:      The Roundtable is an awesome opportunity to understand what scouting activities are occurring within the NE Georgia Council and Etowah District

                        (Scout/Merit Badge Advancement opportunities, Adult Training opportunities, District Camping events, etc.).

                        It also provides an opportunity to discuss topics amongst peers that are important to you, your scout(s), and/or your unit.

Breakouts:   After opening announcements (approx 20 minutes), the Order of the Arrow, Boy Scout, and Cub Scout breakout sessions will occur to discuss different topics

                        (e.g. this week’s Boy Scout breakout topic is “stories from the National Camporee AND selecting Boy Scout Roundtable breakout topics for the upcoming school year”

                        --- Boy scouts are also encouraged to attend).  
                            Note: All breakouts will wrap-up by 8:30 PM

Dress Code: BSA Class-A/Field uniform is encouraged, but not required.

THE DISTRICT ROUNDTABLE is for ALL Scout Volunteers!!! (click for flyer) What is a District Roundtable?   Don’t let the name “Roundtable” fool you. It isn’t necessarily round, and you don’t need a scout uniform to attend.   - It’s a training know-how-show.    - It’s the single most important function of the Etowah District.   - It’s the Scout program in action.   - It’s the most effective medium for obtaining updates/information about the scouting program to each unit.   - It’s an information source for leaders (of all ages; registered and non-registered).   - It’s a meeting where leaders can discuss and share what works -- success stories… …and stories to avoid!!!   - It’s Scout leaders having fun learning while meeting leaders within other units. Are you curious of current topics or want to be more involved within the District? …Join us at Roundtable on Thursday.
