District Pinewood Derby Details

Congratulations to our scouts who participated in the Union District Derby this weekend. There were 58 racers and our scouts did great! Alex L placed 25^th, Mitch placed 26^th and Robert placed 30^th. They learned a lot of great tricks; which hopefully they’ll share with the rest of us J

Bridging Ceremony

Our Bridging Ceremony is scheduled for the weekend of May 8^th-10^that Optimist Park in Monroe. This is the culmination of our scout year and where are scouts either progress in rank within the pack or as Webelos transition into Boy Scouts. This is an extremely important event for your scout and one you will not want to miss!

Location

Those of you who attended our first campout & boat regatta; this is the same location. Essentially, it is at the intersection of 601 and 74. Go one block to the shell station and turn onto the gravel farm road into the woods, literally right next door to the Shell Station, amongst the cows.
