Recruitment

Starting after the first of the year, we’ll be actively recruiting boys for the Troop. The Webelos II from Pack 163 will be crossing over at the end of April. Troop 4 will have its program fully up and running by that time.

As a “Welcome to the Troop” activity, there will be a weekend camp out in May 2005. More information will be given as we get closer to May.
