Greetings Troop 380 Scouts, Leaders, and Families,
Thank you to everyone who made the open house a great success, particularly Nate and Drew for their leadership. The scouts did a great job showcasing what our troop has to offer, and we had some AOL scouts commit to joining us.
Also, thanks to the scouts and leaders who helped out at our troop’s recruitment table at the Rosemont Community Day – we talked to over 30 families interested in joining our troop.
Finally, thanks to Bruce for leading the family campout this weekend, and to all of the families who attended. We look forward to hearing their stories.
