Roundtable and Committee Meeting Information


This information was provided by the Crosswinds Web Site Director.


Crosswinds District Roundtable Meetings:

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 are currently being held in the Cultural Hall of the LDS Church (Cary Ward) at 1811 Seabrook Ave., Cary 27511, just off the SE Cary Parkway.

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.

What are the District Committee Meetings?

The Committee meeting is held to plan, discuss and report on the activities of the District. The functions of the District include; Membership, Finance, Program and Unit Service. Each District function has one or more volunteer chairperson(s). Those chairperson(s) normally attend the Committee meetings and make a report on their area's events for the past month and the coming month. The meeting is chaired by the District Committee Chairperson or Vice Chairperson. Those normally attending a monthly meeting are: the District Chairperson, Vice - Chairperson, Commissioner (Unit Service), Cub Scout & Boy Scout Program Chairpersons (Program), the District Scout Executive (the "DE" is the paid professional Scouter assigned to our District), the Membership/Relationships Chairperson (Membership) and the District web site Director, and District Committee Secretary.
 

Who should attend the District Committee Meetings?

The Committee Meetings are open to ALL Scouters or for any adult that is interested in becoming involved in Scouting. The Chartered Partner Representative from each sponsor of a unit should also attend, especially at the Annual District Meeting, as they are a voting member of the District when it addresses the nominees for the District Committee Officers.
