Eagle Board of Review - Council Representatives
Are you a member of your Troop's Committee? Do you help conduct Rank Boards of Reviews? The Etowah District Advancement Committee is looking for many volunteers to act as the Council Representative for conducting Eagle Boards of Review. Minimal experience is required and you can pick and choose the dates that work for you. We had about 40 Eagles last year so there is not a big time commitment. Training is provided in September at Scouter Success.
​
Please reach out to Carole Stojetz at cestojetz@carolina.rr.com if interested in the position and thank you for your service to the youth of the Etowah District.
Advancements
