Hey Pack!  Quick reminder – we are celebrating Scout Sunday tomorrow morning with the Whitehouse Methodist Church. The service begins at 9:30 AM tomorrow morning. Please be there by 9:20, dressed in your Class A uniforms (No Hats). Our Scout Troops are preparing breakfast burritos for everyone to enjoy after the service. There are also several Scouts who are assisting with the service.  If you are unable to attend, we encourage you to wear your uniforms to the service of your choice.

The time has come to celebrate your Scout and all they have achieved this Scouting year!  Our Blue & Gold Banquet will be held on Saturday, March 1st, from 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM at First Baptist Church in Whitehouse, TX.  Please RSVP for your plate and sign up with how many will be attending with you! This is open to the public and your families, so be sure to invite them as we celebrate our Scouts for completing the requirements of their current ranks!  If you would like to bring a dessert, please be sure to bring that with you when you arrive, and LABEL it if it has nuts. We have quite a few scouts with nut allergies so we put those on…
