DECEMBER 3RD TROOP MEETING – VIA ZOOM AT 7:00 PM

As we return from our Thanksgiving celebrations and continue our Zoom meetings, we’ll move into a Forestry theme for the month of December.

To prepare for an eventual expert panel, we’ll touch on some or all of the requirements below, so check your books to see if you need to fulfill any of them.

We’ll also brainstorm questions for the Forestry panel, and play a Forestry-themed trivia game.

Finally, be on the lookout for an email from Scoutmaster Lauger with the Zoom log in code.
