Scouting America Mayflower Council
83 Cedar Street
Milford, MA 01757

The Mayflower Council is transitioning to a council-centric support model to better serve Scouting units on May 1, 2025. This change involves moving from district committees to council-level committees. District-level volunteers are encouraged to stay involved by shifting to the new council-wide committees, and units will now work directly with these committees. This restructuring aims to streamline operations, reduce administrative overhead, and enhance support for local Scouting activities.

Key Points of the Transition

• Consolidation: On May 1, 2025, the existing five districts (Cranberry Harbors, Headwaters, Metacomet, Post Road, and Sachem) will be consolidated into a single council-wide district named the Mayflower District.

• Volunteer Roles: While specific district-level positions like district chair and vice-chair will be eliminated, volunteers are encouraged to continue their service at the council level.

• Support Structure: Unit Commissioners will continue to support units, and Roundtable meetings will still be held at the council level, likely in a hybrid format.

• Event Management: Council-level volunteer committees will now oversee events like Freeze Out and Webelos Woods, with efforts made to include previous district-level volunteers.

• Communication: A new social media group, “Mayflower Leaders Growing Leaders,” will be launched in early March to enhance communication and collaboration across the council. Existing district email addresses will be transitioned into new council-wide addresses.

Impact on Local Unit Leaders

• Unit leaders (den leaders, Cubmasters, Scoutmasters, etc.) will continue to deliver the Scouting Program.

• Points of contact will shift from district-level volunteers or professionals to council-wide personnel.

• The goal is to improve program delivery and support consistency across the council.

How to Get Involved

• Volunteers are needed at all levels.

• Express your interest by emailing the transition team.
