Webelos Day Outing

We'll be having a Day Outing for any Webelos II wanting to attend on Wednesday, October 26th. Troop 4 will meet at ETC at 9 am. Yes... This is a weekday. But you guys are off school that day, so why not have fun with the Webelos?

We're thinking about going to Lapham Peak again. Think about what activities you want to do. We'll be planning this outing later in September.

Watch the October newsletter for more details.

It's time to sell wreaths to raise money for Summer Camps and Outings. Keep in mind the long-term summer camp goals while you fundraise.

Final DUE DATE for orders is October 25th. Order forms CAN be turned in early so they don't get lost. If you want to go out in September and turn in your order form then go out again in October -- GO FOR IT!
