We think it’s the best way to celebrate the Memorial Day weekend. Plan to have the family participate and enjoy some service and fellowship. You will be inspired!

Troop 96 is heading to Wisconsin this weekend. On Saturday, the Scouts will have the opportunity to go rock climbing and hiking at Devil’s Lake State Park. We’ll be camping at nearby Mirror Lake State Park near Baraboo.

The Almond Road Cleanup was on the 28th of April from 9:00 to 11:00 am with 11 scouts and 5 adults.
Everyone had a great time cleaning up lots of trash along the road and with donuts and hot chocolate at the end. This was a great way to earn 2 conservation service hours for rank advancement.

Our annual Spaghetti Dinner is here! This Saturday, we will be serving a delicious dinner from 4-7 pm. Some Scouts are assigned to set up beginning at 3 pm, others work the dinner itself, while another group will clean up from 7-8 pm.
Scouts should be in uniform and be sure to wear a hat, too.
Check out the link to the Work Schedule to see when you’re assigned to help.
All Scouts are asked to bring a dessert for our dessert table. Please bring enough for 24 servings of “store bought, non-refrigerated” goodies.
