Yesterday we got the good news that we will be able to use the church to meet again for this coming scout year. So, we are going to need to get everything we put into storage, out of the locker and bring back to the church.

We need everyone to meet at Trinity on Friday @ 4P in work clothes. We will then proceed to the storage place.

We also need volunteers with vehicles to transport both the scouts to the storage place and room to bring them back along with all the stuff currently located there.

If you have any questions please Call/Email/Text Mike

Hope everyone had a great summer. With the new scout year upon us here are some important dates:

New Scouts that just crossed over from Cubs must have their parents complete a Boy Scout application (will be available at this meeting for you to fill out)

We pushed the committee meeting back a week from when we previously had it as to be able to provide all parents a full calendar for the year and other information that will be needed. All parents attendance is strongly suggested.
