Santa Margarita District Roundtable

Check Out Cub Roundtable

Roundtable is held the second (2nd) Thursday of each month at the Church of Later Day Saints located on 451 West Bobier Dr. in Vista.  Please email a Santa Margarita District Commissioner for more details.

Where is it?

What is Roundtable, anyway?

Roundtable is a monthly program offered by the District that gives leaders hands-on experience and provides a forum for leaders to offer and receive help from their fellow Scouters.  There are separate sessions for Boy Scout leaders and Cub Scouts leaders; many Roundtables begin with a joint session to hear announcements and upcoming event schedules that apply to all leaders.  The Boy Scout Roundtable session explores a particular activity or area of interest, while the Cub Scout Roundtable provides information about the upcoming month's planned program theme.  In both sessions leaders are encouraged to share their questions, their successes and their failures (usually the latter is the most instructive!).  Helping you, the Scouting leader, is the sole purpose of Roundtable.

Who should attend?

Everybody!  Roundtable is designed for all leaders - Scoutmasters, Cubmasters,  Webelos Leaders, Committee Members,  Assistant Scoutmasters, Den Leaders; every scouting position has a place at Roundtable.  In the Cub Scout session there are separate break-out programs for Wolf and Bear Leaders, Webelos Leaders,  Cubmasters, and Pack Administration.   Whether you've been in Scouting for 40 years, or just signed up last week,  Roundtable has a lot to offer you.

Why should I go?

Because Roundtable is by, for, and about YOU!  Every job is made easier by sharing the load, and Roundtable takes on the job of creating and presenting your program.  Sure, you can make your own program from scratch, but you certainly don't have to!  Roundtable is loaded with ideas and demonstrations of all kinds.  Got a particular problem you just can't work out?   Come to Roundtable and ask the group - draw on the years of Scouting experience made available just for you.

Cub Scout Roundtable

Roundtables are designed as a supplemental training for adult volunteers at the pack level.  The objective of the roundtable is to give pack leaders program ideas, information on policy, events, and training opportunities.  In addition, these roundtables provide an opportunity to share experiences and enjoy fun and fellowship with other Cub Scouting leaders.  Hopefully, unit leaders will be inspired and motivated, and able to provide a stronger program for their Scouts.

Why come to Roundtable Meetings?  Working together, we can help with ideas on...

Pack Meeting Programs, Monthly Theme Activities, Recipes (Food & Goo!!), Songs, Awards & Ceremonies, Recognition

We also have breakout sessions for Den Leaders, Webelos Leaders, Cub Masters and Committee Members where we discuss such topics as...

BSA Policies & Procedures, Achievements, Advancements, Council & District Events, Developing, Sportsmanship in the Boys, First Aid & Medical Issues, Understanding & Managing Behavior Issues, Safety Issues, Spring Recruiting, Summertime Activities, Sharing Ideas that Work and those that don't

We also have Hands On Crafts to take with you and Occasional Guest Speakers

We will have great fun and fellowship - but more importantly, we'll learn from each other and hopefully provide an awesome Scouting Program that will indeed grow our boys into the leaders of tomorrow!!!!

Join us on the 2nd Thursday of each month @ 7:00 p.m. LDS Church on 451 West Bobier Drive in Vista.
