PRESIDENT'S CLUB

KIRKHAM CHALLENGE

Trained leaders provide an active, quality program at the unit level and keep Scouts coming back for more fun week after week and month after month. When Scouts participate regularly, the many purposes of Scouting are achieved. Trained leaders increase boy retention and leader tenure.

John Kirkham, Great Salt Lake council president and sponsor of President's Club, will recognize Scouters at all levels for their efforts in increasing the number of trained leaders who are delivering a dynamic program. A special neckerchief will be awarded to those who meet the challenge.
