At your unit celebration, a Celebration Coordinator will recognize your unit for 2018 accomplishments and give you FREE pizzas to use at an upcoming meeting.

Sandy Beaver District Dinner
Mark your calendar for the Sandy Beaver District Dinner on March 27 at 6pm at Robertson Heating Supply Banquet Room. Here we will present district awards and Unit JTE awards.

Nominations are due March 9th for awards presented at the District Dinner, please submit nominations to Chris. Awards include the Volunteer of the Year, Scoutmaster of the Year, Cubmaster of the Year, and the District Award of Merit.

UPDATE: Membership Cards
Effective January 1, 2019, unit key 3's have access to view and print their charter certificate and membership cards in my.scouting.org. Because of this change, the Buckeye Council will no longer be printing membership cards and charter certificates effective January 1, 2019.

This “self-service” functionality allows volunteers to print membership cards and the unit charter certificate in a timely manner and enhances the onboarding experience for new youth and adults.
