Scout Achievement Center Building Usage Policy
The Scout Achievement Center provides great activity spaces and resources for local Scouting to occur. The spaces are available for use by local Scout units, community partners, non-profits, and other professional organizations. In order to help ensure that we can continue to provide a welcome, clean, and inviting space for all users, the Scout Achievement Center will be implementing a new facility usage rental policy. This new policy and any associated fees are in place to help specifically offset any additional staff time, cleaning and custodial services, as well as general building wear and tear. For additional details, please see the updated policy and rental terms here.
