Message:

Dear Troop Parents,

We are looking for a Unit Advancement Chair to be responsible for managing, tracking, and celebrating Scout advancement, merit badges, and awards. This is a key committee role with support from myself, as Committee Chair, and the Scoutmaster. There are two additional seats supporting the Unit Advancement chair: the Board of Review Chair and the Life-To-Eagle Chair. Please reach out to me for more information.

Yours in Scouting,

Tony Giamis
