Watch for event sign ups! Busy months ahead!

There are a lot of activities coming up in the next few months - service projects, recruiting activities, campouts, merit badge courses, the popcorn fundraiser, and more! We will be taking headcounts and payments periodically, so plan ahead by reviewing the troop calendar and RSVP yes or no to the upcoming events. Your RSVP (yesses and no's) will help us to plan better!
