Look ahead to the annual Headlands trip on January 20-22, 2017! Please let scoutmaster know if you would like to be a chaperone/driver. This is a primarily indoor weekend in a large "mansion" (as the scouts call it) and as an adult your agenda would be to watch children and relax!

Tonight's meeting

Scout meeting tonight: we will be preparing for the Santa Parade on Saturday. One suggestion is for the scouts to wear boxes as presents again. I will be bringing some large boxes from Walmart, but if you want to bring scissors, or boxes that would be helpful. Not sure how many boys will want to dress up as a present but I will also have lights, and reindeer antlers etc.

Wreath pickup!

Wreath orders are in! You can pick your orders up at Monte's Car Wash from 9am to 5pm.
