Fall Camporee 2003

(for 5^th grade Webelos - Den Leader is the contact)

This event happens every fall and it is for the 5^th grade Webelos. You will do this outing with the local Boy Scout Troop in Monticello (Troop 270). You will spend the day on Sept. 27^th at Camp Stearns in Annandale.

Get those achievements and electives updated. Parents - make sure you check with your leaders and scouts to see what they have accomplished over the summer. Your Leader must call all awards into the Awards Chair by Sept. 18th^th.

Uniform Exchange: Have you outgrown your uniform and need a new one? Do you have a uniform that is outgrown and still in pretty good shape? Are you interested in a uniform exchange? Give Esther Kociemba a call 878-2204.

Aluminum Cans- Keep collecting them: Mr. Tim Cotter has graciously taken on the aluminum can drive for us. He will be collecting the aluminum cans at each pack meeting so you don’t have to keep bags of them in your garage.
