Rdtble Characteristics & Needs Pt I

Hello Here is Part 1 of 4:

Recently, I posted three sections for an E Rdtble Survey. With some members
on Scouts-L I hoped to learn about your experiences with District
Roundtables, to gather information that will be useful for the building of
and reflection on my district's Cub Scout & Boy Scout Roundtables, and to
post the gathered information on SCOUTS-L to aid your program reviews as well.

As with surveys generally, I have ended up with more questions from the
results.

Many thanks are owed for the cooperation of the wired Scouters on SCOUTS-L

Please feel free to contact me by email if you have a question, or further
observation.

YIS, Gary Apfelstadt, Prairielands Council, Champaign, IL
