   We will return to the Sipsey Trail area of the Bankhead Forest for
   camping and backpacking. Please use the link above to let us know *if
   you’ll** be attending or not.* This is one of the best trips we
take throughout
   the year, so don’t miss out!

Parent reminder:

   - Mr. Sleasman will be the trek master taking us to Sipsey wilderness.
   - We have checklists, removed the need to collect money, and are looking
   for new trek masters.
   - Can't do a full trek?  Organize a Saturday morning hike on rainbow
      mountain, or a Saturday afternoon bowling, or a friday night bike ride,
      etc.  We can help you.


   - Come to the committee - see what its all about and how you can help.
      - We need a secretary and a "Webelo Whisperer"
         - Mellisa Davison and Debra Cybuck have stepped up.
         - You can help your boys have the best scouting experience even if
      you can't go camping or be at Monday meetings (committee things are
      typically Thursday).
