Please RSVP to the Elson Farm campout link by 8:00 PM tonight.  Do it online here:  http://cubscouts661.blogspot.com/2013/10/are-you-ready-for-some-camping-oct-1920.html  

Join us for an opening flag ceremony tonight for USC Field Hockey.  Meet 7:20 at field behind Boyce Middle School.  Anthem will happen sometime between 7:30 and 8.

We are ordering uniform patches (red 661, council shoulder patch, purple world crest, and den number).  These will be distributed by the den leaders when the order arrives.
