Troop 8035/8036 2014-2015 Schedule
Key:
(J) = For Junior Scouts (4-5 Grade)
(B) = For Brownies (2-3 Grade)
(All) = Any scouts welcome
Notes:
I tried to set it up so there was at least one Brownie, and one Junior Event, or one (All) event each month in addition to the meeting. Some months that don’t have an (All) event may get one added down the road, so our Juniors can keep helping and being leaders to our Brownies.
Meetings will be help in Room 103 (Mrs Bushman’s room) at Highland View from after school until 5:00.
