Mr. Chapman

 

A Scout is Courteous…  The troop has been doing a great job with this so keep up the good work!  The church is appreciative!  Please bring a water bottle to meetings.  Woodhaven has asked us not to use their cups.  We need to be respectful of the church as a whole, this includes the kitchen area and the ice maker.
