It's their spaghetti dinner fundraiser and they'd appreciate the help bussing and running dishes, etc. This is NOT at MUMC it's at Lake Nokomis Lutheran.

Sign-Up here for Snow Base by 1/14. We have a previous crew of scouts signed up. If you're currently registered and can not make it that weekend please let me know ASAP. If your Scout is not registered but is interested in attending that weekend, also let me know ASAP.
And if you're able to drive that weekend, please let me know. We'll likely need more driver(s). We had secured a second driver for our original weekend, thanks Peggy Guinney! I'm not sure of her status for the new weekend.

High Adventure Proposals
Sponsor your idea. Do some research about where you'd like to go and what you'd like to do. Presentations at the Troop Meeting on - Jan 21This is inspired by a monologue from the Ancient One in the 2016 Marvel film, Dr. Strange:
You cannot beat a river into submission. You have to surrender to its current and use its power as your own.
As youth, we're often at the confluence of many rivers. You can only paddle upstream so long before you're exhausted. Use your resources and skills to help accomplish your aims.
