District Quick Links

Each district is staffed by a professional and numerous volunteers that oversee the various functions that support Scouting within the area.

Each district within the Boy Scouts of America has a key group of leaders that are known as the district's key 3.  The key 3 includes the district's chair, commissioner, and a professional staff member.  To send an e-mail to all members of Audubon'd key three, click here.

The Audubon District invites you to participate in Outdoor Leadership Skills Training, a fun-filled program of hands-on skills training in the outdoors, designed to help you master basic camp skills required to prepare Webelos and first year Boy Scouts in the basic outdoor skills needed to make the most out of Scouting.  Instructors will help you learn how to set up camp, cook, work with woods tools and ropes, first aid, planning campfire programs, map reading and compass skills, hiking and packing techniques, nature identification, and Leave No Trace. Each outdoor session will bring to life the pages of the Boy Scout Handbook to help you deliver the promise of Scouting to yourself and the youth you serve. It will increase your comfort level and give you confidence as a trained, skilled leader. The program will also give you the opportunity to work with other Scout leaders from your area, meet new friends, and reinforce skill techniques with fellow unit leaders. The cost of the training is $10.00 and includes all training materials and meals.  More information will be available by October 8th.

The district committee is proud to announce that a special Scout Leaders' Appreciation Dinner will be held this year at the John James Audubon State Park.

District Food Drive 
(November 12 through December 17, 2011)
The district's fall food drive will begin on November 12 and will run through December 17th.  Plans are underway to contact managers from various grocery stores across our district to allow both packs and troops to set up collections points within the district.  As many of you know, the current economic conditions has had an impact on the number of families that have become dependent upon the various food closets across our five county area - this is a chance for our Scouts to make a difference within our communities. If you are interested in helping with the coordination of this event, contact the district executive or Tammy Leathem, the district's civic service chair.
