[Troop351] Shooting Sports Campout

[David Cybuck]

Just a reminder.  Go into scoutbook and RSVP for shooting sports camp out.
We'll be using time during tonight's meeting to plan some meals, service
project, and possible flag retirement.  It will be easier if we have a
better idea of who is going.
YIS,
Mr. Cybuck
