Roundtables are a form of commissioner service and supplemental training for volunteers at the troop level to give them an example for troop meetings, information on policy, events and training opportunities, service opportunities, and misc ideas. It's also an an opportunity to share experiences and enjoy fun and fellowship so they will be able to provide a stronger program for their Scouts.
