Roundtable

Lonesome Pine's Roundtable meetings are like every other Roundtable. There is the pre-meeting in the parking lot before the meeting starts. Then there is the actual meeting. The final part is the post-meeting in the parking lot after the meeting is over. It was that way when I was a DE. I remember staying as late as 11:00 pm talking about Scouting and then driving to Lexington for a Staff meeting.

Last night, we hammered out the details and are going ahead with the Merit Badge Fair. We had a quiz on McKee new developments, looked at Varsity Scouting, reviewed the Philmont height vs. weight requirements, and we might even have a Boy Scout Camp Out this fall. We can't have a District Camporee, because there is a Council Fall Camp Out. However, Troop 813 is camping and has invited us all. We need this. We haven't been together in a while. As a District, I think we can attend both events.

It truly energizes me to go to our Roundtable meetings. The strength of each Unit, when combined, makes us a great District.

Bottom line is that our kids are getting the best Scouting experience that can be found anywhere.
