ROUNDTABLES A Cub Scout Leader Roundtable is held in your district every month. The roundtable is a gathering of all Cub Scout leaders in the district for a planned program built around the upcoming theme of the month and features songs, games, crafts, ceremonies, and fun that you can use in your own pack and den. It is also a chance for you to meet experienced leaders who can help you learn how to do a better job for your boys. Roundtable Day: ________________________________
