March 2025 Roundtable Recap

A note from the District Commissioner

March provided another excellent Roundtable Event for the Chicora District.

A special thank you to James Levy and all of those who donated dishes and other items for everyone to share. We had great attendance with more than 20 people coming together to fellowship and learn.

This month featured great information about Campfire Safety, Outdoor Ethics and talking Friends about Scouting.

I've included for you more information about our Roundtable Topics, helpful information, and other important links below.

Our next Roundtable event will be on Thursday, April 3, 2025, at 7 pm in the PALM Charter School cafeteria. We will be covering topics like Depression, Service & Gratitude, The Brand Center and have a special presentation from the IWC Adaptive Scouting Chair, Mark Zelenka.

We look forward to you joining us and the fellowship that Roundtable always brings.

Yours in Scouting,

Michelle Malcolm

Chicora District Commissioner
