If you are relavely new to Scoung, you may have noced
that knowing who to contact with quesons can be difficult.
Whats the difference between a District Chair, District

Jay through their respecve ADC.
District Execuve
Russ Nash, our District Execuve, is the professional Scouter

district level to support them in their role. Russ carries several
