Don't forget about the Scout Roundtable tomorrow night at 7:30pm. We received a call that said that there was a conflict using the regular meeting room, so we will be meeting outside, weather permitting. So, don't forget to bring a chair. If the weather goes south on us, we will move into the youth building. The meeting will be short and we will be discussing the upcoming plans for the Camporee along with the regular string of announcements.

The OA will be meeting at the same time and place, so get your Arrowmen to the meeting to help finalize plans for the Camporee.

I have received numerous calls and emails requesting we cancel the RT this evening due to incliment weather. Sorry for any inconvenience. The meeting has been officially cancelled.

On Sunday 2/24/08, we graduated 11 boy scout and cub scout leaders in the most recent Northstar Course. An action packed full weekend with the best comments being the Astronomy class taught by Randy Smith. Participants experienced camping by patrol, patrol spirit, cooking, wood tools, map and compass, first aid, ceremonies, campfire program, and knots and lashings.
