(updated 08/04/20)
Drive-by Court of Honor - Tue, Aug 18, 6:30p-7:30p
FCT Session (tentative) - Sun, Aug 23, 2:00p-4:00p
Additional events for the 2020-21 school year will be added when available.
As the troop has not been having in-person meetings, the Courts of Honor scheduled for April and May will not be held. Scouts continue to earn merit badges and rank advancements, and these awards will be presented as some point. The troop may have a Court of Honor on June 9 but that could change.
