THANK YOU for helping our District's unit leadership, parents and Scouts informed about District Scouting events and announcements!
To submit an announcement to the Alpine District website, please consider these guidelines and send the request to the Tech Chair with the Distict Executive and District Chair on the Cc. Email the District Chair or reference a Distict Committee communication for specific email addresses. They will not be published on this public website.
Title: Be purposeful about the title of your event. Stay away from informal or colloquial names for your event. Use the BSA or Council naming. If acronyms are given, also provide the full form of the acronym. Many in your audience are new to Scouting and do not necessarily get the jargon. Always reference the event name in exactly the same way in all materials to avoid confusion.
Full Description: Provide a full description of what the event is, including the purpose or goal of the event. Make no assumptions that the reader understands what your event is about. Many are new to Scouting. Reader should be able to answer these basic questions after reading your description:
- What is the purpose of the event?
- What exactly happens at the event? Is there an overall agenda or list of activities?
- Who should attend and why should they be excited to attend?
- Is there a goal, achievement, or certification received from the event? Are Scouting patches awarded?
- Is this part of the Training continuum?
- Will there be service hours awarded?
- Is this Pack, Troop, Crew, or Team specific?
- Are there age or rank requirements?
- Will food or coffee be served? Or should food be brought?
- Who is organizing the event? Are there guest speakers or instructors?
Registration:
- If your event requires a paid registration, you MUST complete the Council registration request form, and send the form to Council with the District Executive, District Chair, and Tech Chair on the Cc. Request the specific email addresses from the District Chair. ALL registrations must go to Council for setup. Click here for the Council page with the Request to Create Online Event Registration (Fillable PDF). Allow at least 7-10 business days for the registration to be created.
- Once Council has setup the registration, the Tech Chair must be informed of the existence of the online registration so it can be linked to your announcement. Please email the Tech Chair if that person is not already on the confirmation from Council.
- (optional) You will receive an email for each registration as they happen. You can also request from the Tech Chair a report of current registrations in Excel format. Allow 48-72 hours turnaround time for registration summaries.
External Link (optional): Is your event related to a BSA National, Council or other District event? Or city or another organizations event? Google or Bing the website for that event and provide the link please. Ask the Tech Chair for help if needed.
Logo or Teaser Photo (optional): Each announcement will have a thumbnail sized image associated with it. The BSA logo will be used in the absence of anything specific provided. If your event is for a specific merit badge, training patch, or other activity, please find a representative image that will look good in thumbnail format. Or if you have a photo from the previous year's event, that works great as well. Don't worry about sizing the image or logo, the District staff will do that. Attach the image to your announcement request. Ask the Tech Chair for help if needed.
Flyer or Document (optional): Is there a flyer for your event? Or other materials that can be made available online? Make sure the District receives the flyer, document or other materials relevant to your event. These will be uploaded to the District website, and linked to your announcement. Ask the Tech Chair for help if needed.
You have worked hard to organize your event. Show it off! Thanks for your help in providing outstanding communication for your District unit leaders, parents, and scouts!

Each year, the BSA Councils in Washington State present a combined Report to the State to the Governor's office in Olympia. This year's Report to State was delivered to Lieutenant Governor Brad Owen on Wednesday February 22nd 2012 in Olympia by 22 Eagle Scouts from across the state. Those Eagle Scouts represented six Councils and over 57,000 Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts, and 1333 new Eagle Scouts in Washington State for 2011. The report includes a summary of the number of community service hours completed, number of youth at camping facilities, and other achievements by Scouting organizations for the 2011 year. See the summary Washington BSA Report to the State 2012.
The Eagle Scouts were hosted by independent discussions with Lieutenant Governor Brad Owen, State Attorney General Rob McKenna, Senate Minority-Leader Senator Mike Hewitt, House Minority-Leader Rep. Richard DeBolt, Republican caucus Rep. Hans Zeiger, Democratic caucus Rep. Dave Upthegrove, Sergeant First Class (SFC) Patrick McDonald, Assistant to the Secretary of State Sam Reed, and Amy Brackenbury President of Oyster Bay Public Affairs.
In addition, Eagle Scouts attended job shadows focusing on State government positions. This included Washington State Patrol Chief John Batiste, Rob McKenna and the Attorney General's Office, Greg Lane President and CEO of TVW, Patty Danner with the Department of Licensing, Senator Pflug, Rep. Schmick, and Rep. Short. Agenda items also included observation of the State Legislature passing a special recognition proclamation honoring the US Navy on Navy Appreciation Day, Feb 22nd. Prior to the event, the Eagle Scouts enjoyed a night at Great Wolf Lodge south of Olympia, and a dinner reception with Council representatives.

Alpine District allows adults and youth to lookup and contact actively registered Alpine Distict Merit Badge Counselors.

To access the Merit Badge Counselor Search for Alpine District, you must have an account on SeattleBSA.org. Once a counselor is located, an email can be sent to the counselor requesting a meeting.
Please remember, youth should never meet with a Merit Badge Counselor alone. Youth protection rules must be followed. A Scout must be with a buddy, or parent, when working with a Merit Badge Counselor.
