District Dinner is an opportunity for a night of fellowship and great food as we acknowledge and thank our adult volunteers for the hard work and dedication that made this year incredibly successful. Lone Star District’s outstanding leaders at the unit and district levels will also be recognized. All volunteers in Lone Star Recognition Event are invited.
Registration
The district committee is excited to announce a big change with the Recognition Event. Inspired by the great success of the Dutch-oven Throwdown and to defray the rising costs associated with a catered meal, this year's event is going to be a covered-dish supper (potluck). The registration fee is $5 per person to cover the cost of awards. Eagle Scouts who have earned their Eagle Scout award within the last year are invited to attend the Recognition Event free of charge. Payment is only made online with credit card, electronic check or PayPal. Council refund policy.
