Please note, the next few months will have meetings/events on days other than the usual Monday night.  Spring is around the corner (somewhere) so it is time to get out there!  If a Monday night is NOT listed below then we do NOT have a meeting that day.
Here is a list of upcoming Webelos events, please mark you calendars and RSVP.

The Snow Geese are back at it, come enjoy this annual event as it means winter is almost over.
Scouts will earn their Naturalist Badge at this event!!!
All scouts MUST bring their Webelos books to this event!
I need the scouts to come prepared having completed either requirement 9 or 10 at home and prepared to share what they learned with the whole group.
**For the scouts that did not yet earn the Webelos rank, I will be meeting with you individually to review your book and discuss your plan for completing the badge by the end of the school year.
