So as some of you know, I have begun planning out my eagle scout project. My project will include laying down a new layer of dirt and re-soding the baseball field at the Richardson YMCA. I will need volunteers on two different weekends. Click here to volunteer.  

November’s campout is sure to be a unique and memorable experience for the 444B troop as we head to Camp Tahuaya in Belton, TX from Nov. 12-14.  The campout will focus on Scottish Highland games, so be ready for pumpkin slaying and telephone pole throwing!

Flower Pick Up Date: Saturday, October 30 from 9:30am till 11:00am - Please make plans to pick up your flats of flowers from AUMC Scout Hut and deliver them to your customers.

All Parents are welcome to attend our Parent Committee planning meetings.
