Returning Leaders- Update your application for 2012!!

December 22nd, 2011

Hey you fabulous returning leader!  Even though it’s the start of winter, we’re already well into planning for next spring & summer.  There have been quite a few changes around SCA this fall, including a change in the way you let us know that you want to come back & spend another awesome summer with us.  Here’s what you need to do:

  1. Make sure your application is updated in our fancy new system.  To access your application, click here.
  2. Once into your app, complete it and make it all nice for us.  The important things you need to make sure that you update are your availability dates (so we know when you can work), your program preferences (make your program preference #1), and your certifications (WFR, chainsaw, canoe, etc.).
  3. If you have any issues getting into your application or any questions at all, give us a shout at leaders@thesca.org.

We’ve got our 2012 National & Community training dates up so take a gander at those too.  It never hurts to email us to let us know that you’ve updated your app and you’re excited and ready for another great season!
