We invite all unit leaders to share in fellowship, celebration (and tacos!) while we announce and bestow our District awards for the Stinger, Bronze Bee, District Award of Merit, and recognize our Cub Scout and Scout of the Year. Please be sure to invite all your Stinger award recipients to join you! Dinner will be catered by Don Mario's Mexican Restaurant. Dinner will be a variety of street tacos with all the fixin's, sides and dessert (vegetarian and gluten free options available).
Tickets are $30 per person.
