Thank you to Acts Church Leander for hosting the North Shore District awards celebration for contributions to Scouting in our district from January 1, 2025 to May 31, 2026.
The evening kicked off with some thoughts from Acts Church Leander Chartered Organization Representative, Nathan Deckings, then we quickly moved into the business at hand… Recognizing our scouters.
