YOU LUCKY KIDS! You get two weeks of fun, relaxation, TV, presents and no school. I will have to work the same as your parents so, be sure to keep the house clean!

Here we are at the end on the 2004 scouting year and looking forward to the 2005 activities. I sure hope you are as excited as I am.

Several great things will happen in the next 6 months.

bullet Darn near all of the new scouts will be first class by Red and Green. YEAH!
bullet Our second meeting for High Adventure will take place January 4, 2005 @ 8:30 PM. If your birthday is on or before 09/01/92 then you are a candidate to attend the 2006 Florida trip. Check out the Sea Base web site to see if you want to go. www.bsaseabase.org. Look at the Bahamas Adventure page, this adventure was picked by the youth.
