Big kudos to Pack 4690 St.Celestine & Troop 0965 St.Juliana for being our District's standout scouting units that hit 100% training for all their direct contact leaders!

That's not just a number; it's a badge of honor showing commitment to top-notch skills and safety for every scout in their care.

To other units out there, this is your nudge! One fully trained leader at a time, and you'll build a stronger, safer, and even more awesome scouting experience for your unit.
