We are scouts and proud of the fact we stand for something with character and independance.
Behavior is based on the Scout Oath and Law.
Remember all the adults here are volunteers giving thier time because they believe in you and the scouting
program.
Treat them with the respect they deserve.
You will also be expected to treat Duke's property and your fellow scouts with the same respect.
We are guests there and we want to be able to return again next year.
Mawat District will furnish Merit badge work books and Blue cards.
Bring 5 dollars to pay for a merit badge book from council if you do not have a Current one

As classes fill, please inform me if you cannot attend.
We can reflect that here and give another scout the opportunity to attend.
