Important Membership Renewal Notice for Unit Leaders & Volunteers
With Scouting America's transition to individual annual membership renewals, units across the council are encountering situations where youth members unintentionally lapse due to missed renewal deadlines or incomplete payment processing. When this occurs, the youth is removed from the unit roster and loses access to my.scouting.org, which complicates re-registration and can interrupt program participation. Click here to read more.
Military Planning Conference Plans for Road and Dam Repairs
The U.S. Air Force Reserve Command recently sent a dozen soldiers to Camp V-Bar to participate in a planning conference with Council volunteers and staff.
