12. Roundtable
The purpose of roundtable is to train, inform, and motivate. Units that miss roundtable find themselves outside the loop related to District and Council Activities. Roundtable is essentially “in-service” for LDS Scout Leaders. Roundtable is no more of a burden than attending a Stake Leadership Meeting. The Church delegates this training to the Boy Scouts of America.
