If you will keep coming back on a regular basis, I will attempt yo keep you abreast of important dates and events which will be coming up in the coming month. As always the calander will be where you will obtain information for your long range planning. This area will be for reminders and important announcements.

OK, here we go:  The next camping trip will be on August 20-22, 2010, at the Pondhouse. It was announced at the last meeting for the previous weekend. However a major conflict occured. The emphasis for this event will be advancement (Scout to First Class). See all of you at the Pondhouse.
