The national council is considering changes to the national membership standards.  On March 13 & 14 chartered organizations, leaders, and parents were invited to informational meetings.  The purpose of these meetings was to inform people of the membership standards discussion, provide them with the current status, and solicit feedback.  During this process it is important to focus on that which unites us: providing children with the nation's preimer youth program: Scouting.

If you would like to provide input, please fill out this local questionnaire and feel free to include any additional comments.
