Updates from our District Executives
Policy Changes in Cobb County School District
Silver Comet Recruitment Initiative
The CCSD has implemented a new policy that places limitations on recruitment activities within elementary and middle schools. Recognizing the significance of this change, we have organized a Zoom meeting to address several crucial topics. During this session, we will offer a clear and concise explanation of the policy alteration, outline our ongoing efforts to regain access to CCSD institutions, share plans for upcoming recruitment events scheduled for September, and explore alternative strategies to attract young individuals to the scouting program.
The Silver Comet District Key Three (Sharla Stewart, Jess Speaker, Annie Roberts, and John Callahan) will be hosting a zoom meeting on Wednesday August 23rd, at 7:30 p.m.
Please make sure that there is at least one representative from your scouting troop, pack, or crew that can attend this meeting.
