REMINDER - Roundtable tomorrow night!
Our next Roundtable meeting will be held tomorrow evening, February 12th at the Council Service Center. The District Committee Meeting will no longer precede Roundtable, so the meeting will begin at 7:00 pm. This is a great opportunity to get information on activities across the Council, ask questions, provide input and hear from your fellow Scouters!

We encourage attendance in-person to enable our leaders to meet other Scouters, share ideas and cultivate friendships. However, we know that this isn’t possible for everyone. Therefore, a Zoom link is provided below for anyone who is unable to attend in person.
