Roundtable Staff Objectives

Roundtables are a form of commissioner service and supplemental training for volunteers at all levels. The objective of roundtables is to give leaders program ideas; information on policy, events, and training opportunities; and an opportunity to share experiences and enjoy fun and fellowship with other Scouting leaders. The roundtable commissioner and staff demonstrate elements of a model meeting that leaders may use as a pattern for their own meetings. The roundtable experience will inspire, motivate, and enable unit leaders to provide a stronger program for their Tiger Cubs, Cub Scouts, Webelos and Boy Scouts.

Meeting Times:

7 PM - 8 PM

Saint Luke’s United Methodist Church, Danville VA

COMMISSIONERS SKIT
DOCTOR!
Patient: I can’t figure out why my nose runs and my feet smell.
My last doctor said I’m paranoid. Well, he didn’t actually say it, but I could tell he was thinking
it.
So, I’m going to see a new doctor.
(walks up to Nurse)
Patient: Nurse, I keep seeing spots in front of my eyes.
Nurse: Have you seen a doctor?
Patient: No, just spots.
Patient: I brought my son in two hours ago because he swallowed a silver dollar. What’s his
status?
Nurse: No change yet.
Patient: Well, let me see the doctor.
(walks over to Doctor)
Patient: Doctor! I feel like a set of curtains.
Doctor: Pull yourself together, man!
Patient: Doctor! I've got insomnia.
Doctor: Don't lose any sleep over it!
Patient: Doctor! I have weird dreams that I’m invisible.
Doctor: I can’t see you now. Please come back tomorrow.
Patient: Doctor! I feel like killing myself and I need your help. What should I do?
Doctor: Pay in advance.
Patient: Doctor! I think I’m shrinking!
Doctor: You’ll just have to be a little patient.
Patient: Doctor! Everyone keeps ignoring me.
Doctor: Next!
Patient: Doctor! My back feels like a deck of cards!
Doctor: I'll deal with you later.
Patient: Doctor! I feel awful again. What's wrong with me?
Doctor: Oh, you've had this before?
Patient: Yes.
Doctor: Well, you've got it again!
Patient: My friend's doctor told him he had appendicitis. Two weeks later, my friend died of
heart failure.
Doctor: Don't worry. If I tell you you've got appendicitis, you'll die from appendicitis!
Patient: Doctor! I need this rusty nail removed from my foot. How long will it take and how
much will it cost?
Doctor: $300 and about 5 minutes.
Patient: $300!?! For five minutes work?
Doctor: Well, I can do it slower if you’d like.
Patient: Doctor! What’s wrong? You look puzzled.
Doctor: I can’t figure what’s wrong with you but I think it’s the result of heavy drinking.
Patient: OK, I’ll just come back when you’re sober.

COMMISSIONERS RECIPE
CORN DOGS
Required:
a tall glass, ziploc bag, skillet, pot to boil hot dogs in
Ingredients:
4 cups vegetable oil
1 pkg. hot dogs (8 or so)
1/2 C flour
1/2 C yellow cornmeal
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
1 Tbsp shortening
1/3 C milk
1 egg
8 wooden skewers
Instructions:
Combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and sugar into a zip-loc bag at home.
Put hotdogs in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and let sit with the lid on.
Fill a skillet or dutch oven with oil so it is 2 inches deep. (To use less oil, put an empty vegetable can in the
skillet with a rock in it to take up space)
Heat the skillet to about 375 degrees.
Add shortening to dry ingredients and cut up with a fork so there are only tiny bits of shortening.
Combine milk and egg in a cup or zip-loc bag.
Pour milk/egg into cornmeal mixture and mix thoroughly.
Pour cornmeal batter into a tall glass.

COMMISSIONERS MINUTE
A FAVORABLE YOUNG MAN
There used to be a young man that was a miracle baby for his parents and they were so appreciative they
dedicated their baby to a life of service. It is said that this young man ministered on his job, what does this
mean? (wait for answers) It means he was a help to those who needed it, he cared for those who were needy
and talked with those who were lonely. It is said that he grew in favor with his master and those around him.
What does that mean? (wait for answer) He was known for being a helpful and honest young man that people
could depend on every day. He was also known for how he spoke to others because he was careful about what
he said. If this young man spoke it was with thoughtful consideration and spoke the truth even if it was
unpleasant. He also had a relationship with God to the point that God would tell him things to tell others
around him. Do you know this young man’s name? (wait for answer) His name was Samuel and even as a
young man he lived a life that was noticed by others and young men today can do the same, we just need to
give them an opportunity to do so.
