About Mountain
The Chief Seattle Council is divided into service areas with leadership provided by the District Executive, District Chairman, and the District Commissioner. Except for the District Executive, the committee is staffed by volunteers.
Mountain Units
Roundtable Meetings: The Mountain Roundtable meets on the second Thursday of each month at 7:00PM. Check the calendar for meeting location and online link (if available). The objective of roundtable is to provide unit leaders with program ideas; information on policy and events; and training opportunities. It is a forum for sharing experiences and enjoying fun and fellowship with other Scout leaders.
