Last minute scout store run tomorrow

I will be going by the scout store tomorrow to purchase any last minute pins, loops, and patches. Please let me know no later than 9 PM today if your scout is missing anything. Cross reference what you have with what is marked in Scoutbook. Check both the adventures AND awards! Text or call me with your scout’s name and what they are missing. I will coordinate with Gigi and our Advancement Chair, Susan Adams, to make sure the kids have everything they’ve earned. Nicole Whittaker

Meeting Tonight in Friendship Hall

Hello Bear Families! I hope you had a great spring break. We sure did. It was nice to slow down for a few days. Tonight we are meeting at 6:30 in Friendship Hall to learn about North East Texas Wild Trip Rescue.  Unfortunately, they aren’t able to bring any horses to the meeting but they did promise to bring pictures! This is part of our Critter Care adventure. Families need to work on the Duty to God requirement by April 12th. Here is the link to Duty to God. Thanks and see you soon!

Crossover Display

Hello All! Gigi asked if I could show everyone an example of how I did our oldest’s Crossover display from a few years back as a reference. I have attached a picture of Landon’s, and below is a list of items used. No need to worry about what you may or may not have, I’m a scrapbooker so I keep lots of our kiddos memories.
