These positions are needed to further enable our district to grow and prosper. Scout Week is coming up February 3rd thru 9th. February 3rd is Scout Sunday, in which scouts are asked to wear your uniforms to your religious services. The Scout Parade and push mobile race is being held on the 9th of February at the Franklin Court House. Details on the parade route will be available soon. Cub Day Camp dates has changed for this year to the first week of June. Also, we talked during the last few roundtables about doing a Twilight camp. A survey will soon be sent to all Cub Masters. Please distribute these to your cub parents so that we can get an accurate idea on what everyone wants to do. The next roundtable will be February 12th. The changes is only because the Tuesday before is Mardi Gras. We will meet at 6:30 p.m. at the Berwick Jr. High Library. Thank you all for your continued support in scouting.
