Program Guide Helps Units Plan Their Program Year
The fun you and your Scouts are having this summer is a result of last year's program planning. Successful units take time during the summer to 
keep the cycle of quality Scouting programs going in the unit, district and council. The council's Program Guide provides a wide range of information to help your unit assemble a great calendar of activities.
View the 2014-15 Program Guide online.
