Having enjoyed last week’s trivia game, we’ll continue our Forestry theme tomorrow and prepare for the panel of experts who will join us on December 17th. So bring your ideas for questions and points of discussion!

Some rank requirements that can tie into this theme are below, in case that helps inspire you. And if the merit badge sounds interesting, you can click here to review its requirements.

We’ll also have another break-out room for our Scouts working on Scout rank.

Finally, click here to sign up for a Christmas Carol for our video-compilation, and be on the lookout for an email from Scoutmaster Lauger with the Zoom login code for tomorrow’s meeting.
