Crosswinds District Roundtables are held on the 3rd Thursday of each month, with the exception of July (summer vacation). Roundtables start at 6:30 pm with a gathering and visiting with each other for one-half hour. The actual Roundtable starts at 7:00 pm with a general information session for all attendees. Right after the general information session, the Roundtable breaks into 3 separate sessions, one for Cub Scouts, one for Boy Scouts and one for Commissioner Service. Roundtables normally end around 8:30 pm.
The meetings currently are held in the Fellowship Room of the Cary Presbyterian Church at 614 Griffis St., 27511, just South West of downtown Cary.
In August we usually have our annual "kick-off" supper. We do not have a
Roundtable in the month of July.
What are the Roundtable Meetings?
The Roundtable meeting is held to disseminate information to Scout leaders
and to help train Scout leaders. There is a 1/2 hour common information and
announcement session at the beginning of the Roundtable for ALL Scout leaders.
Then the Roundtable breaks into two or more sessions for about 1 more hour.
One session is for Tiger and Cub Scout leaders and the other session is for
Boy Scout, Crew, Exploring and Varsity leaders. We sometimes have special
sessions for adult training, Eagle Board of Review training, Health
and Safety training, etc.. We set these sessions up when we think there is a
need for them or they are requested by our Scouting units.
Who should attend the Roundtable Meetings?
The Roundtable meeting is held for ALL Scouters or for any adult that is
interested in becoming involved in Scouting. The sessions are sometimes
attended by youth who are in OA, Senior Patrol Leaders and Patrol Leaders.
