Welcome to our webpage supporting the Phoenix District Cub Scout Roundtable in the Sam Houston Area Council!

The Phoenix District supports scouting units in the Klein ISD (west of Kuykendahl) located north of Houston and east of highway 249. Districts are, except for the district executive, staffed by volunteers.

So - you might ask, "What exactly is Roundtable, and what do you do there?"  Well, that's what we're here to tell you!!!

Roundtable is a monthly meeting typically held the first Thursday of every month and is conducted by the Roundtable Commissioner and their staff to help unit leaders plan and carry out their own program.

It is an important function of the district where the upcoming monthly Cub Scout program theme in action! It is a learning opportunity for you the Cub Leader and a training opportunity for the BSA.
The monthly Roundtables are the most effective medium for getting the Cub Scout program to YOU the packs and leaders.  A quality Roundtable should be informational --to provide leaders with the "skill-to-do." 

Activities at Roundtable must be usable by the packs in the next month's den and pack meetings. The best method to teach a skill is to "learn-by-doing." A roundtable is not entertainment; it is a learning experience. Yet if it is done well, it can be entertaining, too.  A quality roundtable must also be inspirational-- to give Cub Scout leaders the "will-todo", and to motivate them to do their best for their Cub Scouts.

Attendees receive flyers on upcoming events and the Roundtable Planning Guide Resource sheet with theme ideas for the coming month. Roundtable covers:

  • Training topics
  • Theme songs
  • Crafts
  • Skits
  • Advancement ceremonies
  • Resource items for the different levels of Cub Scouting
The more members from your Pack that attend, the more your Pack will get out of Roundtable. The monthly theme of Roundtable is the theme that the Pack will use the following month.  Also, a great benefit that new Leaders gain is that they get to meet and network with seasoned Scout Leaders who can discuss current topics and explain ideas to the new Leaders.  As a result of the roundtable experience, unit leaders will be inspired, motivated, informed, and able to provide a stronger program for their Scouts.
