BELOW YOU WILL FIND INFORMATION ABOUT THE DISTRICT COMMITTEE & THE ANNUAL MEETING

What is the District Committee?

The District Committee is responsible for increasing the effectiveness of Scouting throughout a district through the achievement of district goals. Thus, the task of the district nominating committee selecting a slate of competent officers and Members-at-Large for the next year is an extremely important one.

More information regarding the District Committee and general district operations can be found in the District Operations Handbook available HERE.
