Pio Pico District Roundtable Meetings are coming to your city in 2024 (and 2025)! Don’t miss out on NEW training topics and locations.
Roundtable is open to all adults! Not just unit leaders. Bring your unit leaders and parents to learn what our district is all about. We ask that if possible that at least one leader from each unit would be available to attend the monthly Roundtable.
We will be rotating where we host our Pio Pico District Roundtable between these three cities throughout the year: Cerritos, Downey, and Whittier. The dates for which each location will host Roundtable are as follows:
Hope you have a fun summer planned! As is tradition, instead of a normal Roundtable we are instead hosting a picnic while playing some “Minute to Win it” games. All of this is going to be set up at Palm Park, 5703 Palm Ave, Whittier, CA 90601 at 6pm going until 9pm. This will be a great way to get to know your fellow scouters while sharing a meal and competing with each other. If you are interested please register so we can have a seat at the table (park bench) for you.
Registrations are $8 per person and will be closing Friday June 14 at midnight, which includes: Hamburgers, Hotdogs, and plenty of other BBQ staples! For Vegetarians please reach out to Tom Garcia (phone number is on the below registration link) so we can accommodate you. The registration link can be found here: https://scoutingevent.com/033-picnic
A special thanks to Tom Garcia for cooking and all of our organizers, we look forward to seeing you there. For future roundtables we will be going dark in July and will be returning to Cerritos in August.
*When registering the default asks for bank information but the button next to it goes to credit card payment.
Please join us for our May Roundtable on May 15th at 7pm! This meeting is a great place to meet with other Scouting Leaders and discuss ways to help your unit succeed.
We will be starting the meeting with our Hot Topic on the New Adult Membership Process followed by a Safety Moment regarding Annual Medical Health Records.
This month we will be hosting a general session for both Cubs and Scouts regarding the upcoming Renewal Process. We plan on providing the most information we can on how the process will be occurring in the future, and answering questions. Recommend coming with any questions you may have!
Please find our Roundtable Calendar and future Breakout plans attached below. Next month we will be hosting a picnic in Whittier for a chance to socialize among our leaders. More information and signups will be available at this roundtable.
Below is a recording of the January 2024 Roundtable’s announcements. I am sorry for the portrait orientation and lack of slides in this recording, at future Roundtables the recording will be taken from a better position. You can view the slides below as a PDF file and follow along with the recording.
Pio Pico District Roundtable Meetings are coming to your city in 2024! Don’t miss out on NEW training topics and locations.
Bring your unit leaders and parents to learn what our district is all about.
We will be rotating where we host our Pio Pico District Roundtable between these three cities throughout the year: Downey, Cerritos, and Whittier. The dates for which each location will host Roundtable is in the attached calendar.
Our January Roundtable will be this upcoming Wednesday, January 17, 2023 at 7pm and it will be held in Downey, CA at Apollo Park. The address is 12544 Rives Ave, Downey, CA 90242. The meeting will be held in an activity room next to the gymnasium (see picture below with red arrow pointing to the entrance).
To reach the building from the parking lot: Walk to the south end of the parking lot along Rives Ave, turn left, and then enter through the double doors at the right side of the building (red arrow below). Alternate entrance if that is unavailable would be through the gymnasium main entrance (yellow arrow) and then enter into the room on the right.
This will be an in person only meeting, no Zoom. We look forward to you coming and connecting with other Scouters in our district!
As shown in the attached calendar February Roundtable will be in Cerritos (location instructions to be sent in an upcoming email) and our March Roundtable will be in Whittier. We will then keep rotating amongst these locations throughout the year (skipping the month we are dark in July). We look forward to you supporting the scouting communities in each of these areas by attending each of these Roundtables.
Also attached is our 2024 Roundtable topics and breakouts plan. The topics are subject to change and when they do we will notify you via email, newsletter, and website.
We look forward to seeing you all there! Please share the news with others in your unit!
Come join us as we celebrate our diversity! We invite you to share holiday sweets that showcase your holiday traditions or culture at our December Roundtable meeting on December 20, 2023.
Whether it’s a special cookie, pudding, or candied treat, please bring enough to share and don’t forget to bring your leaders and any parents that want to come with you!
To help us learn more about your tradition or culture please provide a short description that includes:
The name of the sweet.
The holiday that you celebrate with this sweet.
We hope you will all join us as we appreciate and learn new traditions among our Scouting families.
The December Roundtable meeting will be IN PERSON ONLY, no Zoom. This meeting is a celebration and there will be no break-out sessions.

See you all at the next Roundtable on November 15, 2023.
Below is the September 2023 Roundtable recording. It also includes most of the Scouts BSA breakout about detailed Camporee prep info.
Note: The recording started a few minutes after starting, so I apologize for that. This recording includes the Scouts BSA breakout, however it too missed the first few minutes of that (I had to set up the camera inside the huddle).
Listed below are all the flyers from this Roundtable:
On our usual Roundtable night of the 3rd Wednesday, on July 19th, 2023, Pio Pico District will be having a Recharter Training/Refresher ONLY. This will be focused on Recharter Training only and will not be a full agenda Roundtable.
So be sure to come on down and join us as this training will be provided for units that have new volunteers that need to be trained or for anyone who would like a refresher in preparation for the Recharter.
