Round Table Meeting: Attending a district roundtable meeting can offer several benefits for both new and experienced scouting leaders such as training opportunities, networking, program ideas, district updates, and fellowship with other leaders.
The Driftless District Roundtable meeting takes place on the 3rd Wednesday at 6:30 PM. We meet at American Legion Post 245, 2217 American Legion Dr. Cross Plains, WI 53528.
