Our Bear den and Webelo den will be running some fun carnival games! To prepare for our Blue and Gold Banquet, there will also be a uniform inspection. Please ensure your scout is wearing their full uniform!

Our Arrow of Light Scouts are collecting eyeglasses as part of their “Aware and Care” Elective and need your help! More than two billion people globally need glasses but lack access due to income, distance, or disaster. Seeing clearly provides the opportunity for adults and children to succeed at school or work, and care for their families. Simply donate your gently used glasses, including: prescription glasses, readers, sunglasses. Our AOL Scouts will deliver “Eyes of Hope/VSP Global”.

Collections will be taken at our February Pack meeting and at the Blue and Gold Banquet. Please click here for more details.
