Start thinking of ideas for next year! The planning lock-in is just around the corner! Have a favorite vacation spot? Know of some good hiking trails? Have a suggestion for summer camp? There will be a box out at the troop meetings for you to drop your suggestions.

Hey Scouts! You can bring electronics to use after the planning is finished. There will also be movies (rated PG13 or lower - remember we have younger scouts) shown too.
