2026-2027 School Year Planning

Posted on Apr 26 2026 - 8:15pm

It is already time for us to plan for next year.  We need to reserve our fall campout spot and MPR dates very soon.  So put on your thinking caps and let us know what you would like to see in next year's cub scout program.  The planning meeting will be held during the spring picnic so we can get maximum parent involvement (because we really do want your input).  

If you can't make the picnic/planning meeting, please email us your suggestions.
