Got Advancement?

Looking to have requirements signed off? Remember, it’s up to you to seek out a scout First Class or Above to test and sign off on your requirements. Once they’ve dated and initialed your advancement sheet, drop it in the box and it will get recorded in Scoutbook. Not in the box or without the initials of whoever signed it off? It doesn’t get recorded.

What about Merit Badges? Once you decide you want to work on a badge, fill out a Blue Card and take it to Mr. Landquist or Mrs. Tahtinen to sign off. They’ll also help you find merit badge counselors. Having issues contacting a counselor? Let Mr. Landquist know so he can help find another counselor.

Service Opportunities

We have a few more service opportunities planned for this summer:
September 28 - Final Highway Clean Up for 2019. Watch for times to be announced.

September 23 (Monday) - Watch for information about a service opportunity through our Chartered Organization, St. John Neumann, as part of their 7 days of service. More information will be presented as it becomes available.
