Dear Troop 219 Families,
Here is the Troop's Update for October. We have a lot going on and require volunteer support to make it all happen.
We are still in need of leaders, as we have many scouts who are aging out with their respective parents. Please reach out to one of the committee members or scout masters, so we can get you trained.
