Cross-Over -

WEBELOS II Crossover is Sunday 1/22/2012 at 1 PM.   It is held at the duck pond at the intersection of Great Oaks and Hairy Man Rd.  (http://g.co/maps/hf8cu).   We recommend that ALL scouts who can attend do.  This is the culmination of your scout’s Cub Scout time.  It’s a great time and the as of now, the weather for Sunday will be more enjoyable than last years!

Scouting for Food

Sean Maguire has neighborhood assignments and will have the flyers in the next couple of days.  Den Leaders need to get with him to pick up the flyers.   Suggested distribution is Saturday 1/21 with food collection the week after.

Report to State
