Hey Den 4 – what a GREAT year-end swim party we had – missed a few of you, but it was so good to see almost everyone, and especially the scouts-in-training (siblings!) Don’t forget the SCOUT BICYCLE RODEO – THIS SATURDAY, JUNE 11th!!  Bring your bikes and meet up at the Green Acres Parking Garage 8am-12pm. This event is going to be a lot of fun.

Toay is the day! DEN 4 End -of- year pool party at the Neilsens’ home, 200 East Acker Tap in Whitehouse, starting at 6pm.

If your family has not signed up to bring something, bring yourselves and whatever your Scout would like. 😁 Can’t wait to see everyone!!!!

Hello Scout Families!! Our end-of-the-year pool party is most likely going to be washed away – chilly weather, lightning and thunderstorms are forecast for almost every hour tomorrow.  The day might dawn just lovely, but with lightning in the area we’ve made the call to POSTPONE our year-end adventure until NEXT TUESDAY, MAY 31st, when both the temperatures and the weather seem to be more cooperative! I’ve heard from Harrison and Madoc’s families – I’m ordering PIZZA and we have some chips, dip, and a dessert so far….can anyone bring drinks?  Paper Plates, forks, napkins? Please RSVP so we know how many will be there, parents included!! BEAR Swim & Year-End Party at the Neilsen’s – 200 E Acker Tap – Tues. May 31 –…
