This year we had 4 sessions each with 6 different discussions. Every discussion requires a scribe and a facilitator. Scribes keep the notes and facilitators keep the conversation focused and make sure that everyone gets a chance to talk. Both get special merit badges for their extra efforts!
Notes for each discussion have been posted to the individual session pages.
