Scouts discussed working on the prerequisites for the Sept 11 campout and played a game. Fundraising this summer is almost complete. Parents can reach out to Mr. Lorenz to find out their Scout’s balance but more may be deposited after a few more events. Leaders asked the Scouts to think about next summer and if they want to do a canoeing high adventure camp in June 2023 or National Jamboree with a group from the Council. If you want to do an activity, you don’t always have to go with our Troop.

Reuban Lorenz was promoted to Second Class
