District Monthly Meetings

District Roundtables

The roundtable meets once a month. There  is a common session with information for all Scouts and Scouters followed by separate  breakout sessions for Cub Scout/Webelos and Boy Scout items. The district roundtable  is a meeting to provide the following for the full family of Scouting units:
  • Skills, techniques, information, program ideas—the know-how that makes for successful unit operation.
  • To provide unit leadership with the will to do—the morale, enthusiasm, inspiration, and vision that periodically renew the desire to serve youth.
Please make every effort to have at least one representative from your unit attend this meeting!  

District Committee

The district committee is a group of volunteers that serves the local units within the district. The committee is broken into several sub committees which include advancement, training, activities, unit service, membership, camping, and fundraising. The district is always looking for help in any of these areas and has roles that can fit anyone’s schedule and skill set.  Please contact the District Chair if you are interested in helping out youth on the district level!

District Commissioner Staff

The commissioner staff meets once a month. The commissioner is a friend of the unit. Of all their roles, this one is the most important. It springs from the attitude, “I care, I am here to help, what can I do for you?”

The commissioner is a representative. The commissioner helps represent the ideals, the principles, and the policies of the Scouting movement.

The commissioner is a unit “doctor.” In their role as “doctor,” they try to see that their units make good “health practices” a way of life. When problems arise  they act quickly.

The commissioner is a teacher. As a commissioner, they will have a wonderful opportunity to participate in the growth of unit leaders by sharing knowledge with them.

The commissioner is a counselor. As a Scouting counselor, they will help units solve their own problems. Everyone needs counseling from time to time, even experienced leaders.

If you are interested in volunteering as a commissioner, please contact the District Commissioner.
