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.
