District Team
Team members have suggested adding two new positions to the team.
Community Service Coordinator: someone to coordinate District wide community service projects to have more of an impact and be able to use as public relation stories.
New Troop Facilitator: Most of our troops formed this year have already fizzled or will shortly. The new troop facilitator will check with these troops to help keep them on track. We prefer someone who does not already have their own troop so they can be more active.
If you are interested in any of these new positions, please see Gloria H.
