Chris M. is looking for Scouts to help with his Eagle project on Saturday, October 20th. The project involves research regarding Hofmann Dam. Scouts that sign up would need to be able to conduct research and write a summary about their topic. Scouts that sign up would need to bring a laptop, if possible, to conduct research. The work time would start at 12:00 and end around 2:00 pm in the Public Meeting room at the Riverside library. Snacks will be provided. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Scouts,

You should be on your way to selling popcorn BUT if you haven’t already started there is still time. Remember, one third of what you sell is for you to use to help offset the cost of things like camp outs and summer camp! It’s a great way to support the scouting movement and to make a bit of money for your outings.

Due date for order forms and money
October 25 (at the Thursday meeting)
