If scouts have laptops, it is recommended that they bring them to the meeting. Snacks will be provided for this event. Also, please bring a gallon of water so we may make drinks. Scouts must print out the attached flyer and turn in the completed bottom portion during the February 27th meeting (one per family, please).
