Nominate your favorite leaders!

Signal Hill District, the organization of the NW Suburban Council our Pack is part of, is again taking nominations for Leaders of the Year.

As they say in the form:

The Leader of the Year Awards are a great way for you to recognize those who have
made it possible for your Cub Scout Pack to be successful this past year. Nominated adult volunteers who have provided outstanding service to scouting and your youth for a Leader of the Year Award and recognition at the Annual District Awards Dinner.

Forms are submitted directly to District, so nominations remain anonymous from your leaders.

The deadline is December 19, 2011.
