Scouters, I hope all is well with your Packs & Troops. We are in the process of Spring Recruitment for Cub Scouts (K-5th Grade) and for Boy Scout Troops. When we go to
the schools, we urge the leaders to encourage your Scouts to wear their Pack or Troop
t-shirts the day of school recruitment and help us urge their friends to join Scouts !

Also, please help us promote the Cub Fun Day (Pack Option to camp) at the Sheriff's
Farm on Friday, June 17- Sat. June 18.......
We will be doing crafts, games, nature, catapult, fishing, bb's. archery & slingshots.....
We still need a pack to  volunteer for nature......

Don't forget, this is the last weekend to sell Camp Cards  & May 3 is the last day to sell !!

Have a Great & Safe Scouting Week !
