Service to Great Trail Council Volunteers is now at the Council Office Entrance

Monday – Friday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM

The lobby of the Great Trail Council Office now provides services to Great Trail Council Volunteers that were normally done in our Council Scout Shop.  This includes all council business such as checking Eagle Applications, turning in membership registrations and making payments, paying for recharters, making product sale payments, making deposits into unit accounts, and paying for camping or activities.  We may have specific GTC-branded items there for sale as well. 

If you come to the GTC office to meet with a staff member, you will meet them in the lobby of the office rather than the Scout Shop.  

Thank you for being patient as we navigate this transition. We look forward to continuing to provide the best service possible in the Great Trail Council!
