Parent volunteers (and scouts in 6th grade and above) will work with one founder to develop meeting each month on a rotating basis. The founder will provider the framework and guide the planning of each meeting. The founder will provide suggestions/ resources but ultimately the meeting will be a combined cooperative effort by all volunteers.
