Also, hang flyers anywhere high school students congregate such as: Libraries, Malls, Bowling Alleys, etc.
How do we choose the delegates? All applicants must be interviewed. Delegates are chosen by your unit please find out at a meeting how your unit would like you to proceed in choosing your delegate(s). This can be done by an interview board of your making (2 to 3 other members get together and interview applicants), a unit visit and interview (applicant attends a unit meeting and all members in attendance may participate in the interview). These are a couple of the many ways you can choose delegates.
