MESSAGE FROM SENIOR DISTRICT EXECUTIVE

Chris Workman is going back to school! Last day is 11/12

My last day is 11/12. Thank you for the last four years Sacred Springs! Please contact Roy Stiles or Art Trevethan after the 12th for district needs. I will greatly miss serving this community and watching our families grow. I hope to see you all out in our community doing what Scouters do best. Remember that this program relies on incredible volunteers like yourself! The district team is under very capable leadership that could use your talent. A few hours of your time can have a major impact on the youth in our program. They need your help fundraising, recruiting new scouts, and putting on amazing district programs. Thank you for letting me be a part of our Scouting community.


Forever yours in Scouting,

-Chris

Merit Badge Councilors

Merit Badge Counselor renewal is right around the corner. Remember, if you are a MBC, you MUST respond to me in order to remain a MBC for 2022. So be on the lookout for a message from me soon!


Want to be a MBC?


If you would like to register as a MBC for any badges, please email me the following documents in one email. All applications for MBC must go through me for approval prior to being sent to council.

No unit leader signatures are necessary (just the DE’s and mine).


As always, I’m here to answer questions!

Thank you for what you do for scouting!
