We had a fantastic turnout for the District-O Volunteer Appreciation Dinner. Thanks to the Units that elected their "Spark Plug" peers and congatulation to the District and Council Award Recipients!
The key to a GREAT program is to leverage the knowledge that is already out there. We've improved as a district by 5%. Let's keep this figure going up!

The second opportunity will be during the League Cup matches on Wednesday, July 30th vs. Querétaro.
There are 50 tickets available for the Vancouver game and 100 tickets for the Querétaro game. There will be an opportunity for a game-day fan experience that will be determined on-site.
All participants will receive a giveaway bag during the postgame. Tickets are NOT limited to just Scouts- share the registration with friends and family who may be interested in attending!
