Celebrate Scouting
Celebrate Scouting is the new Family Friends of Scouting and we are going to celebrate your unit at any unit meeting in February, where a Celebration Coordinator will recognize your unit and give you a gift. Information will be provided on how families can invest, but there will not be a specific ask made at those events.

Send your unit celebration date (any meeting between 1/15 and 3/15) to your District Executive by 12/6!
