Do you know of a volunteer that could use some recognition for a job well done? How about someone who goes above and beyond on a regular basis, but seeks out no recognition of their own? There is likely an award that these individuals are qualified to earn, but they are often too humble to apply on their own. As the council prepares to present its Silver Beaver awards, your local district may have some equally-meaningful tokens of appreciation to share at their annual recognition events.
Have you picked up your tickets yet? Scouts that are part of the Popcorn Sellers Club ($650+) are eligible to receive a $5 ticket to Monster Jam on April 9! Everyone is invited to attend. To purchase additional tickets, call 1-866-248-8740 op 1
