The Rowan District will hold its annual volunteer leader recognition dinner at First Reformed Church, located at 210 N. Central Avenue in Landis, NC at 6 p.m. on Thursday, February 6. The banquet is our time to recognize the adult leaders in our Scouting family who have performed extraordinary, outstanding service to the youth in their unit, as well as at the district and council level. During the banquet, we will also recognize the district’s 2013 class of approximately 40 Eagle Scouts for reaching the pinnacle of Boy Scout advancement. This year's guest speaker will be Dr. Lynn Moody, superintendent of Rowan-Salisbury Schools.

If you have an outstanding leader in your unit or district that you believe of recognition for service at these levels, especially for the District Award of Merit, please complete and submit the requisite nomination forms by January 21, 2014 so the selection committee has time to review, discuss, and select recipients. You may return these forms in confidence to John Barden via emailjobarden@bsamail.org or at the St. John’s Scout office.

Event Fee: $12.00 for each adult & guest. CORRECTION: Thanks to a generous donation from local Masonic lodges, the fee for 2013 Eagle Scout class participants has been reduced from $36.00 to $12.00.

Please RSVP by Friday, January 31, to event chair James Wilkie (jwilkie@carolina.rr.com) or district executive John Barden (john.barden@scouting.org).
