Journey to Star Council
Requirements:
- Earn Columbian Award (Programs) - See below for our council's progress

Columbian Award 2019-2020
Our council's status towards earning the Columbian Award for programming.
We expect to be awarded the Columbian Award based on revised requirements due to the Covid-19 Pandemic.
These revised guidelines require councils to complete two programs in each of the four program areas in addition to two more programs that can be in any area.
