Last Minute Change

We're very sorry, but the newspaper office called and cancelled our Tigers/Webelos field trip for tonight. For some reason, they were not able to keep it this evening. It has been rescheduled for May 31.

TIGERS and WEBELOS: There will be NO Tiger or Webelos meeting this evening. The Tigers and Webelos leaders don't have time to come up with a new meeting plan.

LATEST UPDATE:  The BEARS will not be meeting this evening due to a school related conflict.

The WOLVES will be meeting at Evergreen Church as planned.

We are sorry for these last minute changes.  Any Cub Scouts from the cancelled dens who show up at the Church are welcome to participate with the Wolves and earn a marbles belt loop.
