Scouts talked about their experiences at Mackinac, played a game and worked on advancements. If you went on the Mackinac trip but were not at the meeting today to test, please test yourself for Covid. There was exposure on the trip home. Many Scouts brought back their assigned Coleman tents. Please check your homes for our orange Marmot tents. They should be in gray stuff sacks with an orange bottom. We are missing 6!
Mr. Dansfield received an award for his service.
The Troop received a flag display celebrating 60 years of service to Mackinac.
