What is Roundtable?

Monthly Roundtables are conducted by the Old Hickory Council districts to provide the latest program information, guidance and a forum for the sharing of experiences and resources. The aim of the Roundtable is to provide the will and the skill to do. If leaders have these two things, they can succeed, and they and their unit will continue to succeed.

The will to do - in the form of morale, enthusiasm and information - is distributed regularly (for the will to do is perishable).

The skill to do - in the form of skills, program ideas, techniques, and information - is taught a piece at a time (for there is so much to learn).

A Roundtable is fun, practical, inspiring, full of skills, loaded with techniques, and
brimming with program ideas.

Who attends Roundtable?

Roundtables are designed for leaders. Cub Scout Roundtable should be attended by den leaders and their assistants, Webelos leaders and their assistants, Cubmasters, assistant Cubmasters, and pack committee members.

Boy Scout Leader Roundtable is meant to be attended by Scoutmasters, assistant Scoutmasters, troop committee members and Venturing Leaders. Unit Commissioners attend the Roundtables in which their leaders are involved so they can be available if additional questions arise.
 

What is the Goal of Roundtable?

To help motivate unit leaders and refresh their morale, enthusiasm, inspiration and vision.

To provide unit leaders with skills, techniques, ideas, information and know-how to make their unit operation successful.

To provide resources to help unit leaders in their roles.
