ROUNDTABLE HINTSRTs – The Most Important Part of Unit ServiceBS150, George Costigan, National Capital Area Council, and a little CD philosophy  
“Roundtable is the single most important event of the district.” Baden-Powell, 1912 Roundtable is a major element of Unit Service
RTC's and Assitant Rouuntable Commissioners (Formerly called staff) are like all the other Commissioners except for their specialty – ROUNDTABLES!!! Note – Assistant RT Commissioners (Those Commissioners runing breakouts, taking attendance, demonstrating skills, leading songs, and more) are indeed COMMISSIONERS!! The Wreath of Service is on their positon patch. They are eligible to earn the Arrowhead Award and the all appropriate Commissioner Training and Honorary Awards. It was to eliminate potential confusion that the title was changed from Staff to Assitant RT Commissioner. Like Any Other Commissioner, the RTCs & ARCs Are:

That is why Baloo's Bugle for January's RTs has info for February's Core Value (Friendly) and theme (Friends Near and Far). Next month, February, Baloo's Bugle and RT will feature March's Core Value and Theme. Got it?? If your RT is not doing the next month (or two months ahead as Alice in Sacramento does), see if they will change!! Following the January RT a Pack should hold its January Pack Committee Meeting (or Leaders' Meeting or whatever you call it). At that meeting you:
DEN MEETING TOPICSRemember – Boys want to be active!! See, too, that they earn their awards (Never say GET. You get sick, you do not get awards – You earn awards. A little CD Philosophy). Big Rock Ideas – suggestions for Big Rocks that fit Interest Topics or seasonal activity. If years are next to an item (e.g. 13-14) that suggested Big Rock is in that Roundtable Planning guide and on-line at http://www.scouting.org/scoutsource/Commissioners/roundtable.aspx
