Monthly Meetings

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. Roundtable is for any Scouter who is seeking information on upcoming events, Scouting updates, and fellowship with their peers. This meeting is typically broken into a Scouts BSA and Cub Scouting session and is led by the District Roundtable Commissioner. 

The Driftless District Commissioner Meeting takes place on the 3rd Wednesday before Roundtable at 5:30 PM. The Commissioner meeting is for volunteers who are currently, or are interested in serving a unit service role. Commissioners specialize in providing top-notch resources to the units they serve. This meeting is led by the District Commissioner.
