To all Scouts that are 12 years old and older:
This is a reminder that Saturday 5/19, from 8:00 - 10:00am, we will be doing our quarterly road clean-up project.  We do a section of road adjacent to Chesney Elementary School (Davis Circle) down to West Liddell and West Liddell out to Old Norcross Rd. The more Scouts we have, the quicker this project goes.  If you have never participated and are 12 or older, come on out and help.  Chesney Elementary is located at 3878 Old Norcross Rd. near the intersection of Old Norcross and Steve Reynolds Blvd.

one-day canned food drive in America.

On March18th, our troop will visit neighborhoods to distribute Publix
shopping bags to homes. On March 24th residents fill these bags with
food goods, and place them on their doorstep for Scouts to come and
pick them up. After the pick-up goods will be given to the Duluth
Co-Op which will use the food to help those in need.

Sign up for this great opportunity to help your local community.
