Briones District – Help Wanted

Briones District - Help Wanted

There are many District functions that are necessary for the District to operate. Ideally, we want the District to operate like a well-oiled machine, which in part, means these positions are invisible, until there’s a gap. This page is meant to help advertise our gaps. There are no special requirements for holding many of these positions other than a desire to help your fellow Scouters and Scouts. If you are willing to help us fill these gaps, please reach out to Michael McDowell, the District Chair, with an indication of where you would like to help. Even if you can’t take on the entire role, your help is still most welcome as there are often smaller jobs that have a high level of impact to the District.
