Beginning early March, parents, Scouts & Venturers over 14, volunteers, and chartered organization representatives may have received a survey delivered into their email inbox for Voice of the Scout. The surveys have been designed to be very brief but will give needed insight into the quality of experiences at the unit, district, and council.
Voice of the Scout will help guide our decision-making for our future programs and operational delivery. Please take a few minutes of your time to participate!
