This year: As we transition to the new model On the State Level, State Deputy Dale Trott has decided to keep the Council and Youth Activities Directors in place this year to alleviate confusion during the change. Council Activities will continue to cover the Columbus Day Ball and Parade, Incentive Raffle and Knights of Columbus License Plates. Most of the Youth Activities, as we know them, have been relocated to Family and Community Activities. While the Maryland State Council still recognizes Council and Youth Activities Directors, reports to State or Supreme will not be submitted under those categories.
