Statement on Council-wide Meetings on the Direction of the GAC
In an effort to improve communications and receive input on the direction of the council, eight meetings are planned for volunteers to visit with Scout Executive Tim Cooper on these and other topics. Tim will cover the updated plans for the council long range plans along with plans for our property development in the next few years.
These meetings are open to current registered leaders and Scouting parents. All Cubmasters, Scoutmasters and Venture Crew leaders are encouraged to share this information with your unit leaders and parents and encourage them to attend and be involved in this process.
We are expecting these meeting to be 1 ˝ hours long, but the meeting will last as long as volunteers want to give input on the direction of the council. Please email or call Tommie Black, tblack@1bsa.org or 205-969-4241 to confirm your attendance.
