Announcements

Parents and Scouts, as they days continue to get shorter (with light) and the weather turns to cooler temps the Patrol Meetings will return to Virtual starting this Thursday Nov. 12, 2020. They will begin at 7:30pm.

Your scout will receive a Zoom link from his patrol leader. Meetings will run about 30 minutes.
