Meeting information for the week of 10/16: If you have not yet turned in your health forms or YPT please do so ASAP! ROSE PARADE INFORMATION This Saturday the 21st is the 2023 Tyler Rose Festival Parade!

Last call for registration for the Mom & Me campout this weekend at George W Pirtle Scout Reservation! You have until noon to register HERE If you can only come out for the day on Saturday that’s fine!
