Roundtable- IN PERSON!
February 2nd- Sand Hill Scout Reservation
Roundtables provide unit leaders with the skill to do and the will to do what is needed to ensure that every member of every unit has a great Scouting experience. They build upon the foundation provided by position-specific basic training and each leader’s commitment to serving youth through Scouting.
Roundtables are a collaborative effort coordinated by Unit Service (commissioners) and supported by commissioned professionals and district operations (Program, Membership, and Finance).
Get your Winter Camping gear ready and join us for a weekend of fun at Sand Hill Scout Reservation. Suncoast and Withlacoochee volunteers have teamed up to bring you an amazing weekend of scout skill competitions and some fun klondike sled building. Each unit should build their own Klondike sled or we will provide some basic materials. Weight will be added to the sled to see who’s can hold and operate with the most weight while being pulled the farthest distance. Bring your units best chili! There will be a chili cookoff competition on Saturday night. Scouts and leaders are encouraged to bring their best chili to be judged.
Units will be responsible for their food for the weekend. A leader’s guide has been provided.
Who can attend
All registered Scouts BSA, Venture Crews and Sea Scouts. If you are from out of council, feel free to join us!
Last Day to Order t-shirts is January 18th.
Last Day to register is January 27th.

Event Information:
Between the dates of January 9, 2023 and February 11, 2023, scouts distribute door hangers to local homes in their community to let them know about the drive.
On or before February 12, 2023, scouts will revisit those houses to pick up bags full of canned food, cereal, pasta, peanut butter, juice and other nonperishable items. The food is then delivered to food banks across the district. If your unit does not have a food bank to distribute the food to, then please contact your district lead for food bank options in your area.
