Awards Court of Honor – May 6th
All families are invited to attend our next Awards Court of Honor on Tuesday, May 6th at 7 pm. The church building will be used as an election site that day, so we will meet in the sanctuary as usual, but our refreshments will be in a different room - Room 123 (youth room). Thanks to the Phoenix and Knights/Tortugas patrols for providing refreshments. Malcolm Thornton, our District Executive, will present on the Friends of Scouting program.

We also have a few open positions on our Troop Committee. Please consider how you can help the Troop and if you are interested in a position, please contact Kim Ridenhour.
