Please bring along a non-perishable good to the Pine Wood Derby scheduled for Saturday, January 8th and\or bring it to our January Pack Meeting on the 20th.  Thank you for helping to support the Webelos I den in this service project.

Due to the weather, tonight's meeting and tour at Sassy Cow Creamery has been canceled. We hope to reschedule for a day next week; as soon as we have a date we will let you know.  While the snow amounts will be less than 2" in our area, we are concerned about the patchy freezing drizzle that could occur after the meeting.  THANKS!
