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 at 210-865-2712 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

Crossover Display

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.
