Another great week for the Scouts. We had a fantastic meeting Wednesday night. Saturday night we participated in the flag ceremony at the Penguins game. Great job by all. We have a video up on our Facebook pages if you would like to view them. We will have our parents meeting on Wednesday to go over summer camp. Please be sure to attend. There will be a lot of information discussed. Meghan Gownley is working on her Eagle Project and has a list of items she can use. I have attached it to this email. We will be collecting items through the month of April. Our April campout is coming up soon. If your scout plans on attending please see the information below.

Summer Camp 2026
It’s not too early to start thinking about Summer Camp 2026. We will begin collecting deposits in January 2026.
Medical Forms
Medical forms are valid for one year only. If you plan to attend summer camp, you will need a current medical form that has not expired.
Summer camp requires Parts A, B1, B2, and C, along with a copy of your health insurance card.
Please do not wait until the last minute to submit updated forms.
