Loose Applications

Do you have some loose applications you have collected over the past months from some of your scouts and adult leaders? If so, please bring them in to the Council office on Harry Hines Blvd as soon as possible. It is important that those applications are processed in a timely manner. It gets the ball rolling on getting these scouts their Boy's Life subscriptions, it gets them in the loop on Council mailings, and it covers them with BSA insurance. So if you have some loose applications please bring them in and get them processed as soon as possible.

If you have questions or need assistance please call
Norberto Diaz at 214-902-6742.
