ACORN is part of the history, tradition, and culture of Mission Peak District. For the past several decades volunteers of Mission Peak District have presented a Scoutmaster Position Specific Training and Introduction to Online Leadership Skills as a package that we call ACORN. This program trained most of the leaders in Mission Peak District. Graduates of Acorn can be identified by the ultra snazzy yellow neckerchief and acorn slide.
