The Occoneechee Alumni Association
- What? The Occoneechee Council Alumni Association is a group for all Scouting supporters regardless of registration status.
- Who? Unregistered Scouters and those interested in renewing friendships with former Scouts and Scouters.
- Why? The intent of the group is to provide opportunities for Scouting alumni to connect with each other, share experiences, and get re-engaged with the Scouting program.
- How? Events will be planned in the future around the Council, and Alumni invited to these events. These events and outreach efforts will be coordinated by the Council Alumni Committee. Additionally, there will be a Council Alumni of the Year Award presented each year. The nomination process will be posted here once nominations are being accepted.
