What does Cacoosing District do?
Districts are created by local councils to help deliver the Scouting program in a particular geographic area within a council’s boundaries.
Cacoosing is charged with helping the units to deliver Scouting programs in eight school districts (listed below). Also, and very importantly, our commissioner staff is there to help units iron out issues to ensure quality programs and run monthly Roundtables for leaders to provide them with useful information.
Programmatically, the district runs several activities in a given year. Please see the current activities listed below and check back regularly for updates.
Our Advancement Committee works with future Eagle Scouts to approve projects and schedule boards of review. They are also just an email or phone call away for any other advancement related questions!
We also have representatives on our council program committees including Camping, Advancement, Activities, and Training. These Scouters work to support council efforts and give input into council decisions. And, we work with our professional staff to provide membership support.
