FRIENDS OF SCOUTING
The district committee members kicked off the 2014 FOS Campaign and pledged $5,655 to start us off.

INTERNET ADVANCEMENT
All Packs and Troops should be using Internet Advancement to report all rank advancements and awards. This is the only reliable way to be sure advancement is reported accurately and in a timely manner. The old system of manual reporting is being phased out. Packmaster and Troopmaster can directly report to Internet Advancement.
