Words To Live By

Hey Parents!

Check out this link for Scouting Words to Live By: click here.

It's an education course for you about Scouting, and upon completion, you will earn a pin for your son to wear on his uniform. It only takes about 15 minutes from start to completion, and you simply fill in your shipping address to have the pin mailed to you. It can't be any easier!
