Monthly District Commissioner Meetings
Commissioners are experienced Scouting volunteers who serve as friends to the unit to learn what they do well and what needs they have. Commissioners share that information so the district can better meet the needs to units to be more successful. Unit Commissioners serve as a key communication and relationship link between the unit leaders and district and council volunteers.
Commissioner Meetings are held the first Thursday of every Month (except July) at 6:00 PM at First Christian Church (1000 Kentucky St. Lawrence, KS 66044)
Monthly District Committee Meetings
The purpose of District Committee Meeting is to discuss ongoing and upcoming events, district operations, and to develop action items for current and upcoming campaigns.
