Being a volunteer leader is fun, challenging, and rewarding. But you don’t have to do it all by yourself. The John Ross District has many people and resources to give your child the best possible Scouting experience.
Round Table is our monthly leaders’ meeting for all adult volunteers in this district. You can get help with activities, places to go, games, skits, and songs for use at Den and Pack meetings.

The John Ross district has another volunteer team called the Commissioner staff. They are our “service team.” They check on the health of your unit and are a communications link between your Unit and the Scouting organization. A Unit Commissioner is assigned to assist your pack, troop, crew or post.
