MEETINGS

- Please note this is a different location and time than our normal meetings! Cullan F's Eagle project will have volunteer shifts on Sept 9 (see note from Cullan, emailed separately). Your Patrol Leader's Council opted to move the meeting to make it easier for Scouts to help with the project while still attending the Troop meeting. This will be a shorter meeting - we will still plan to be done by 8PM.
