Circle Ten Council

Who: All Cub Scout and Scouts BSA Leaders - Every unit should be represented at Roundtable each month in order to stay connected and informed.

What: Roundtable is a place for adult leaders to gather, network with other Scouters, receive supplemental training, and learn important district and council information. The monthly event provides program topic guidance, information about district/council events, and constructive suggestions for unit leaders. It is a fun learning environment that creates excitement around the coming month of activities and programs for unit leaders to carry back for implementation in their units.

When: First Thursday of each month

Where: First Christian Church Garland, 115 S. Glenbrook Dr., Garland, TX 75040 ** except May 4, 2023 - see below **

Why: "Every Scout deserves a trained leader" and you will have FUN and learn new ideas to take back to your units, as well as, make new friends!

Roundtable Schedule:

Doors Open 6:45 pm | Network/Midway- 7:00 pm | Announcements- 7:30 pm | Breakouts- 7:45 pm | 8:45 pm- Adjourn. Every Roundtable Meeting features a Hot Topic, a Safety Moment, gobs of fun, and much, much more!
