SCOUTMASTERS CORNER WINTER 2010
I hope everyone that went on the recent caving trip had a great time. Thank-you to all the drivers that helped get us all there and back safely! This winter we will be busy preparing for the Klondike in January and the 100th anniversary celebration of the BSA in February. Look forward to some exciting outings coming up like our backpacking trip to North Manitou in the fall!
