    • "Lou Whittaker, a legendary American mountaineer who helped lead ascents of Mount Everest, K2 and Denali, and who taught generations of climbers during his more than 250 trips up Mount Rainier, the tallest peak in Washington state, has died at age 95." Lou and his twin brother Jim Whittaker who was the first American to summit Mt. Everest began climbing in the !940's with the Boy Scouts (their Scoutmaster was a mountaineer ); both Eagle Scouts. https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/obituaries/lou-whittaker-legendary-mountaineer-of-mt-rainier-dead-at-95/ https://mynorthwest.com/3955899/lou-whittaker-among-most-famous-american-mountaineers-died-age-95/ https://www.seattlemet.com/travel-and-outdoors/2012/07/jim-and-lou-whittaker-august-2012 Scout Salute and Farewell,
    • As stated above, your District is where the physical address of the CO is located.  We had a situation where we got a new CO, which was physically in a different city and district, by about 100 feet.  The SE made an exception for us, since the IH lived within our old district.
    • No idea what the BSA system allows.... but where do you want to be registered?  I'd  pursue that District. There may not be much practical difference to your District affiliation.  DE support could vary between Districts, but often there is little difference between Districts.  For training, events, etc... most Districts welcome participation from other Districts' Units. I'm in an area where 3 States and 5 Councils are close to each other.  Not too long ago when I was a District Commissioner we had a Unit who was registered in Council A, CO was in Council B, usual meeting place was in Council C and they occasionally had meetings in Council D. I vaguely recall they were registered in Council A because many (30-40?) years prior their CO and meeting place were in A.    
    • The unit is in District A, the location of your CO.  The CO owns the unit, regardless of where it meets. The DE for District A supports. At recharter, same as above... DE for District A. No, no National policy... the only thing remotely covering is that the council has geographic boundaries... and CO's located in those boundaries are chartered within that council. The council gets to determine its own geographic or functional boundaries for its districts.
