This roundtable will cover some areas that are of interest to Cub Scout Leaders, who are encouraged to attend.
The March Boy Scout Roundtable for Trexler District will be co-located, with the Trexler District First Aid Meet, at Roosevelt Elementary School, Second and W. Susquehanna Streets in Allentown, on Thursday, March 11th. Please note that both the time and location of this Roundtable deviates from the usual arrangement.
The time for our presentations will be from 7:00 PM until 8:30 PM, which is the time schedule for First Aid Meet Activities.
We will meet in Room 117 on the first floor of the school. Use the 2nd Street entrance. There is parking in the rear of the school, away from Susquehanna Street.
The First Aid Meet will be held the school gymnasium. Room 117 is a shortwalk from the gym on the same floor.

*Roundtable Location Change*
I wanted to let everyone know that effective immediately, we have a new location for our monthly District Committee Meetings and Roundtable Meetings. Starting with our December meetings, we will meet at the Mack Engineering Development and Test Center located at 2402 Lehigh Parkway South, Allentown, PA 18103. The Commissioner Staff has been meeting there the last two months, and it has worked extremely well for them.
Please Note That This Facility Is Adults Only, Therefore Children Will Not Be Able To Attend
The Test Center is very easy to find. Follow Vultee Streetlike you were going to Queen City Airport. Right before you get to the enterance to the airport, turn right onto Grammes Road. Grammes Road dead ends at Lehigh Parkway South. Turn left onto Lehigh Parkway South. You will pass the enterance to the Allentown Police Academy and then the test center will be on your left side. You will pass the security guard gate. You will have to stop and let them know you are there for the Boy Scout meeting, and they will let you in. Use the visitors parking lot on the right and enter through the visitors enterance, this is not the main enterance. When you enter there, you will see a hallway, follow the hallway through a set of double doors, and turn to your right. This will take you to the cafeteria where we will meet.
Mack Trucks has been very accomodating in getting us set up at the test center. This facility will be much better than what we were able to have at the auditorium since the headquarters all but closed. I encourage everyone to come out to the District Committee and Roundtable at 7:30 PM on December 3rd and 10th respectively.

THE COMMISSIONER'S ROLE
We are looking for a few good scouters to support the scouting program within our units. If you are interested, please contact Steve Mehl, your District Commissioner and I will be more than happy to answer any questions or concerns that you may have.
The commissioner is a friend of the unit. Of all their roles, this one is the most important. It springs from the attitude, "I care, I am here to help, what can I do for you?" Caring is the ingredient that makes commissioner service successful. He or she is an advocate of unit needs. A commissioner who makes himself known and accepted now will be called on in future times of trouble.
The commissioner is a representative. The average unit leader is totally occupied in working with kids. Some have little if any contact with the Boy Scouts of America other than a commissioner's visit to their meeting. To them, the commissioner may be the BSA. The commissioner helps represent the ideals, the principles, and the policies of the Scouting movement.
The commissioner is a unit "doctor." In their role as "doctor," they know that prevention is better than a cure, so they try to see that their units make good "health practices" a way of life. When problems arise, and they will even in the best unit, they act quickly. They observe symptoms, diagnose the real ailment, prescribe a remedy, and follow up on the patient.
The commissioner is a teacher. As a commissioner, they will have a wonderful opportunity to participate in the growth of unit leaders by sharing knowledge with them. They teach not just in an academic environment, but where it counts most—as an immediate response to a need to know. That is the best adult learning situation since the lesson is instantly reinforced by practical application of the new knowledge.
The commissioner is a counselor. As a Scouting counselor, they will help units solve their own problems. Counseling is the best role when unit leaders don't recognize a problem and where solutions are not clear-cut. Everyone needs counseling from time to time, even experienced leaders.
