Traditionally, we don't meet if MPS has no school, but the PLC decided that with everything going on in February, it'd be a good idea to have a meeting.
I look forward to hearing High Adventure proposals!
Notice, there was a change to previously scheduled High Adventure dates. If this presents a problem please let us know immediately.
Previously scheduled July 7 - 13
Currently Schedule August 11-18
Congratulations to Zach Jones for being nearly complete with his requirements for Eagle Scout. Submitting paperwork and successful completion of his Board of Review are all that remain.

Scouting Mobile App
BSA’s Information Technology Group, along with many volunteer beta testers, are excited to announce the new Scouting mobile app, which is now available for both iPhone and Android devices.
You can search for “Scouting BSA,” or click these direct links to download from the Apple App Store or Google Play.
Scouting Mobile App makes it easier than ever for youth and their parents to view and track advancement in the Cub Scouting and Boy Scouting programs—as well as youth recognition in the Venturing program. The app pulls existing advancement data straight from Scoutbook for viewing on an enhanced user interface.
No cell service? No problem! If your Scouting Adventures take you off the grid, this app’s offline capability allows parents and youth (13 and older) to access advancement data anywhere at any time.
Once the app is downloaded, parents and youth should use their Scoutbook credentials to login. If you don’t have a Scoutbook account yet, visit Scoutbook.com to create one.
