Subject: Reopening of Council Service Center

COVID-19 has brought profound changes to us all. We hope everyone is healthy, staying safe, and ‘Scouting On’. Our Council Service Center has had reduced hours since May of 2020 for the safety of our staff and customers.

On Monday, May 3rd, the Council Service Center in Columbus will reopen to the public with regular business hours of Monday through Friday 9 am-4:30 pm (EST). As we open with regular hours, safety procedures will continue to be in place. All customers must sanitize their hands prior to entering the Service Center or Scout Shop, have their temperature taken, fill out a COVID-19 related questionnaire and anyone with a fever will not be allowed to enter. All Customers must wear a mask and practice social distancing. The Scout Shop in West Point will remain closed.

The Scout Shop in Columbus will continue to be open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 10 am-5:30 pm (EST) and Saturday 10 am-2 pm (EST). The Scout Shop in West Point will remain closed for the time being.
