IS YOUR SCOUT AT LIFE RANK?

If your Scout is working toward Eagle, it is important that you attend this upcoming parent meeting.

If your scout is at Life Rank, the President Ford Council has adopted a new Eagle Scout Rank processing procedure. An email was sent to kids who are currently at Life Rank, but a  Parents' Meeting will be held on Tuesday November 13th to discuss how this impacts your Scout.

There are also some other changes that the BSA will incorporate starting the first of the year 2014. Mr Warner will discuss these at the Parents' Meeting.
