Parents Meeting and schedule



Below is the summer schedule.
We voted to continue with $5.00 dues per month and pay per activity.
We will once again not be going to Seph Mack and doing mini camps.
If your child would like to attend Seph Mack, they can do so as a provisional scout, just ask and I will give you the details.
Where you see 3 options, we are going to do the whitewater/ caving option but I will be looking into age limits etc and will post details ASAP.
Please reach out to me or Paul to see where your child stands financially, a lot of people owe money because of rechartering fees and dues from last year.
