Webelos Weekend –We’re ready for Webelos Weekend, which will be held on November 7^th and 8^th. Please volunteer to assist with this fun activity. We can always use some extra hands.

The extended forecast looks like a sunny day!

Girl Scout Garage/Bake Sale – Girl Scout Troop 678, which meets in the Scout Hut on Tuesdays, will be holding a garage and bake sale on Saturday, November 14^th. The purpose of the sale is to raise money for the Scouts to travel to Savannah, GA to visit the home of Juliette Gordon Law, the founder of Girl Scouts. In preparation they will begin storing sale items in the Hut as early as Wednesday, November 11^th.

If you’d like to donate items to the Girl Scouts for their sale, please bring them to our Monday Meetings. As long as what we gather is not garbage, they’ll gladly take the donations for their cause.

Lock-in/Merit Badge Fair – Currently scheduled for December 4^th – 5^th. We will be looking for ideas of merit badges to offer. The permission slip is on the website.

Eskimo Joe’s Scouting Adventure – The rollout of the 100^th Anniversary Joe’s Scouting Shirt will be held on January 1^st from 11:00am – 2:00pm. The shirt is very cool and all that can attend in uniform is greatly appreciated. I’m told that they will be serving Pepsi product to all in attendance.
