WHAT is Roundtable?
|
|
The aim of the Roundtable is to provide the will and the skill to do. If Scout leaders have these two things, they can succeed, and they can continue succeeding. The will to do in the form of morale, inspiration, enthusiasm, and vision 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 much to learn.) A roundtable is fun, practical, inspiring, full of skills, loaded with techniques, and brimming with program ideas. |
|
|
|
WHO should attend Roundtable?
|
|
Roundtables are designed for anyone
interested in providing the best program for
their Scouts, i.e., Scoutmasters,
Cubmasters, Assistant Scoutmasters,
Assistant Cubmasters, Committee Members,
Webelos Den Leaders, Cub Scout Den Leaders,
Tiger Cub Den Leaders, Chartered
Organization Representatives, and all
interested parents. So welcome! Don't worry
about asking questions as that's what we are
here for and don't forget the most important
thing.....have fun |
|
|
|
WHEN and WHERE is Roundtable?
|
|
Roundtable meets the second Thursday of each month at the Main Street United Methodist Church Social Hall, Roundtable begins at 7:00pm. Meetings are only 1 hour long and end on time at 8:00pm. |
|
|
|
|
HOW else can I learn about Roundtable?
|
|
You can sign up for either or both of the Roundtable mailing lists by sending an email to the following links: Cub Scout Roundtable: cubscoutrt-subscribe@longcanescouting.org |
|
|
|
|
The function of roundtable is to:
-
Provide
unit leaders with the will to
do: the morale, enthusiasm,
inspiration, and vision that
periodically renew the desire to
carry on.
-
Provide
unit leaders with the skill to
do: skills, techniques,
information, program ideas, and
the know-how that makes a unit
operation successful.
|
The Roundtable is a great source
for all kinds of information
ranging from District and
Council activities information,
mini training sessions, problem
solving, networking and a lot of
FUN! There will be guest
speakers, Ethics in Action, and
discussions about the
administrative side of
Scouting. Group Participation
is desired - please bring your
enthusiasm!
Make sure that your unit has at
least one person attend these
monthly meetings so you know
what is happening outside your
unit in the world of Scouting.
Your program will benefit from
this up to date information.
The District Roundtables are the
Second Thursday of every month
at 7:00pm at the Main Street
United Methodist Church's Social
Hall. The format should help
develop a stronger relationship
between Packs and Troops. The
meeting will start with general
announcements and guest
speakers, who will address the
group as a whole. Next, the Cub
and Scout Leaders will separate
and have their individual
programs.

What great adventures
come in books? Let's
discover some this
month. Visit the library
and learn to navigate
your way through the
"card catalog computer,"
down the aisles of many
adventures, and to an
adventure of your own
choice. Sign up for your
library card while on
your visit. Create your
own outdoor epic
adventure on a hike,
campout, or maybe at a
ball field or park. Make
a costume for one of the
characters from your
favorite story. At the
pack meeting the boys
can perform some of
their favorite stories
and share some of their
adventures with the
pack. Take part in
Pedro's "Say Yes to
Reading" program in
Boy's Life. This might
also be a good month to
work on the
Communication or
Computer belt loop and
pin. Encourage the boys
to have the courage to
search for, discover,
and share adventure this
month. |

The Star of
Bethlehem, the
Miracle of the
Lamp, the
Morning Star
that enlightened
Buddha, the
bonfires of
Yule: many of
our holiday
traditions this
month involve
lights. Share
your holiday
traditions with
your pack and
den: lights on a
Christmas tree,
candles on a
Menorah for
Chanukah, or on
a Kinara for
Kwanzaa. Boys
can be stars
this month by
brightening
someone's
holiday season
with a gift of
compassion. As a
pack or den,
visit a nursing
home, preschool,
or children's
ward and sing
holiday
favorites. End
your outing by
sharing cookies
that the boys
decorated. Help
those less
fortunate with a
service project
or toy drive.
How about a
holiday campfire
at your pack
meeting? This is
great month to
work on the
Language and
Culture belt
loop and pin or
the Heritages
belt loop and
pin. |

Jurassic Pack
|
|
Explore the land
before time!
Imagine living
in a time when
dinosaurs roamed
the Earth. What
have
paleontologists
learned about
the great beasts
that roamed the
Earth millions
of years ago?
Did any
dinosaurs live
where you do
now? Find out
what they ate,
where they
lived, and how
they moved. What
could we learn
of these
creatures that
lived so long
ago? Make a
model of a
dinosaur or
visit a museum
where dinosaur
fossils can be
seen. Make your
own "dinosaur
footprints" or
"fossils" in
plaster. Take a
"dinosaur"
scavenger hike
by going on a
hike and looking
for things that
might have been
found during the
Jurassic era.
This would be a
great time to
work on the
Geology belt
loop and pin.

Leave Nothing
But Footprints
(Leave No Trace
Program) |
|
Warm weather is
a perfect time
for outdoor
adventure,
complete with
den hikes in the
neighborhood,
park, or on
local trails. As
we enjoy our
outdoor world,
we should strive
to take nothing
but pictures and
leave nothing
but footprints.
Learn about
Leave No Trace
front country
guidelines and
ways we can
minimize our
impact on the
environment.
Take a backyard
hike and
practice the
Leave No Trace
front country
guidelines. Have
a contest to see
who can take the
best wildlife
photograph. Earn
the Cub Scout
Leave No Trace
Awareness Award.
Do your Good
Turn and leave
these areas
cleaner then you
found them.
Remember to
record your
service with
Good Turn for
America. The end
of the month has
all dens moving
up the Cub Scout
trail. You might
want to consider
working on the
Wildlife
Conservation
belt loop and
pin this month.

A Camping We
Will Go |
|
This month Cub
Scouts go
camping! Have a
backyard campout
with your
family. Pitch a
tent or sleep
out under the
stars! Conduct a
pack campout at
a nearby Scout
camp, state
park, or even
the local
museum. An
outdoor pack
meeting might
include a nature
observation
hunt, followed
by an evening
around the
"campfire".
Attend your
council's Cub
Scout or Webelos
Scout resident
camp as a den or
pack or the
council's family
camp with your
whole family.
Camping doesn't
always mean
overnight; day
camp is always
lots of fun. Get
those boys
outdoors and let
them discover
the fun of
camping while
working on their
Cub Scout
Outdoor Activity
Award. Whatever
you do, do it
outside and find
out what the
outing in
Scouting is all
about. While out
on the trail,
you can work on
the Map and
Compass belt
loop and pin or
the Astronomy
belt loop and
pin. |

Be A Sport /
District Cub
Scout Day Camp |
|
Not only is it
important to do
your best when
you try new
sports but it is
important to
understand the
rules of being a
"good sport" no
matter how the
game goes. Play
ball, soccer,
tennis, or any
sport! Learn
about a sport
that you've
never played
before. Have a
sports
competition with
another Cub
Scout pack in
your area. Have
athletes from a
local high
school or
college speak at
your den or pack
meeting. Ask
them to teach
you about their
sport. Learn a
sport you can
play with your
family: golf,
tennis, bowling,
swimming, or
skating. Have a
pack sports day.
Cub Scouts can
create an
obstacle course
for the pack to
enjoy while
earning the belt
loop and pin for
Physical Fitness
or any of the
many Cub Scout
Sports subjects. |
