Guide for District Unit Leaders

This guide has been developed to assist adult leaders who are bringing provisional units from National Capital Area Council districts to the Spirit of George Washington Encampment at Mount Vernon from November 5-7, 1999.

This guide is current as of Monday, October 18, 1999, but is subject to change, so unit leaders should check back to make sure that they have the most current information.
