    There will be no Roundtables in June or July. We will next meet on August 12th at Von Oven Scout Reservation in Naperville for our annual "Cast Iron Chef". The theme for this year is "Where's the Beef!"

    Cast Iron Chef is our annual combined roundtable for all levels of Scouting leaders: Cub, Boy, Venture and Varsity are all welcome. All are invited to bring a Cast Iron dish to prepare and pass. Cast Iron refers to any dish prepared in a Dutch Oven, cast iron skillet or griddle. Coals will be lit at 6 and should be ready by 6:30 for cooking. Bring your appetite, cast iron, fixin's and a printed recipe to pass. Those that are cast iron challenged can bring a dessert or side dish to add to the feast. All are welcome to come, kibitz, eat and learn!

    See you at Von Oven in August - have a great summer!
