Daniel Boone Council Service Center Reopening Update

The health and safety of all our Scouting members, volunteers and employees is our top priority. We are doing our due diligence, to monitor the COVID19 pandemic, county, state and federal recommendations, CDC guidelines, and BSA recommendations. Our primary goal is to operate in the safest manner possible for everyone; we will continue to monitor and evaluate the situations we face and make appropriate decisions moving forward.

Until further notice, the following stipulations will be in place:

Council Office:

• The Council Office will be closed on Mondays; staff will be working remotely from home and will be available by phone and email.
• Council Office hours will be Tuesday – Friday from 9am – 5pm.
• During this time, the building will be closed to walk-in visitors. If you need to visit someone at the office, we ask that you call ahead to make an appointment.
• Appointments will be held at a 6x6 table located in the front lobby, no one will be allowed in the individual offices.
• Visitors who have appointments will need to wear a mask and gloves.
• Hand sanitizer will be available as you enter and leave the building.
• To minimize their time in the office until the COVID19 situation gets better, the Council Office will stagger days that support staff and management staff are there. During this time, the staff that is not in the office will be working remotely from home and will be available by phone and email.
• District Executives will continue to work from home and only come to the office as needed. They will be available anytime by phone and email.
• Credit Card payments need to be made in the interim, as cash payments are highly discouraged. Credit Card payments can be made over the phone; to do this please call the Council Office and ask for Kim.
• Cough protective barriers will be put up in each office doorway.
