Cahokia Mounds District Regular Meetings
Roundtable, OA Chapter Meeting, Venturing Officer’s Association
The District Roundtables are a great way for adult volunteers (and Scouts!) to get information and ideas to strengthen your scouting unit.
Roundtable is held on the first Tuesday of each month (except June, July, and August) at 7 pm. We are currently holding these meetings via Zoom! Please email cheyenne.vandegrift@scouting.org if you need to get added to our newsletter to receive these Zoom links. Typically we have Roundtable at First Christian Church, 310 South Main Street, Edwardsville, IL.
- We are currently in need of a volunteer to serve as the Cub Scout Roundtable Commissioner! If you are interested please email Mark Clegg at Mark.Clegg@thrivent.com.

District Committee Meetings
Third Tuesday of each month (except June & July)
6:30 p.m. via Zoom! We would love to have more people get involved at the District level. If you are interested in joining our committee please email either Cheyenne Vandegrift or Kevin Buhr.
Commissioner Meetings
First Tuesday of each month (except June & July)
6:30 p.m. via Zoom! The link is the same as our Roundtable Zoom link. Non-commissioners will be put in the waiting room until time for Roundtable. Being a Commissioner is the perfect way to serve Scouting if you son or daughter has aged out but you still really love the program. Our Commissioners ensure that our Units are equipped to serve their youth in the best possible ways. If you'd like to know more about becoming a Commissioner, email Mark Clegg at Mark.Clegg@thrivent.com.

If you couldn’t give your time or money for Giving Tuesday, you can still give back in a big way by donating space on your social feed. A simple post can be a powerful thing. Starting a conversation about the Greater St. Louis Area Council, Boy Scouts of America can create the awareness needed to unlock more connections and find new volunteers, board members, and donors.

I occasionally talk about Scouting on my feed. 😂😂
