As early as 600 a.d., history begins the fantastic legends of King Arthur, the illegitimate son of King Uther. Whether through his upbringing or by nature, Arthur was known for reform and justice.

The monument of his work is the roundtable, where all were united without head or foot. Each lordship in his kingdom was represented at the roundtable, and each was committed to serve those they represented.

The BSA's Roundtables are monthly in-service training meetings. The allusion to Camelot's roundtable conjures up images of errant knights assembling to discuss the problems of the people (Scouts) they serve.
