Webelos Activity
We are so very sorry, but because our district was recently split and the old DE just left and a new one has recently arrived, the district does not have the staffing to run this. We are going to have to cancel for this season. We will remove this class from the offering.
Adult Training
The Council will also be holding IOLT all weekend if any of your leaders need this training. The fee is $25.00 and you will not be charged for the MBU. For more information about this adult event held in conjunction of the MBU contact Jeff Liang, council training chair at: Jeff and Renee Liang <jllmrl@hotmail.com>
