The deadline to apply to serve as an Explorers' Club State Officer has been extended to October 28, 2013.

This year for the first time, Louisiana GEAR UP is hosting statewide elections for state level Explorers' Club Officers. Strong leaders from each club have the opportunity to take on a leadership role at a higher level. State officers are tasked to encourage Explorers' Clubs across the state to collaborate, compete, and celebrate with one another. This officer team will take on additional responsibilities and time commitment outside of local club functions.
