Thank you

The Blue and Gold signifies the official end of our scouting season. I would like to thank the parents and families for coming out this afternoon, to support our scouts and make it another successful program.

I would like to congratulate the 4 scouts who crossed over into their new troops; good luck in your scouting careers and remember you will always be apart of the 1776 family. 

Finally, I would like to thank our leaders and committee members for their endless time and dedication with helping guide our youth. Without your help and dedication, we would not have the unit we do.

We are having our end of year Blue and Gold Banquet on June 2, 2018. The doors open at 12:15 and the banquet starts at 1:00. Tickets are available. Each scout gets a ticket for themself and 2 tickets for parents. Any extra tickets are $5.00 each. Payment at the door is acceptable. Head counts are needed by May 30th. We look forward to ending the year with the same spirit that we have had all year!

Thank you!
Sincerely,
Regina Giuffre
