roundtableRoundtable is a district monthly meeting typically held the first Thursday of the month at 7:30 pm at Calvary Episcopal Church (806 Thompson Rd, Richmond, TX 77469) to help unit leaders plan and carry out their own program, learn about district activities, hear about important Scouting topics, and collaborate with Scouters from other units. Roundtable is a form of supplemental training for volunteer leaders. The objective of roundtable is to give leaders program ideas; information on policy, events, and training, as well as an opportunity to share experiences, fun, and fellowship with other Scouting leaders. As a result of the roundtable experience, unit leaders will be inspired, motivated, informed, and safety-minded, and be able to provide a stronger program for their Scouts.
