Want to make your next campfire easier to start? We are collecting supplies to create homemade fire starters at our meeting on March 30th. Please bring any leftover candles, dryer lint, sawdust, and cardboard egg cartons (no Styrofoam or plastic) to the meeting. Thanks for your help and for getting our campfires roaring.

A quick reminder to bring your handbooks to troop meetings. There is often time to work on rank requirements, so you need your book to record your achievements. At meetings, scouts are shown and taught an advancement skill. Scouts can practice on their own with the help of their handbook and other scouts. At a later meeting, scouts can demonstrate the skill to a leader, who will sign it off in their handbook.
