-  Hours are 11:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays.  Call Carol Meyer with any questions.

This is just off of Monroe Avenue North, between 1st and 2nd Street NW.  We are on the north side of the building.  If you turn west on 2nd Street (by the lumber yard, towards the Roller Skating Rink) it will bring you to our side of the building.  (You can enter from 1st Street, but it's easier from 2nd Street).  There is a big parking lot.  There are two doors on the north side; the door to your left is to the West Town Charlie Brown Day Care Center.  We are just inside the door on the right.

WHY RECRUIT NOW? - Please read

 


 

Hey Scouters! Great News!! You now have the opportunity to take “New Leader Essentials” online!! It is now called “This is Scouting” New Leader Essentials is the training required for ALL leaders, regardless of your position, and is for Cub Scout, Boy Scout and Venturing Leaders. (If you are planning to sign up for Woodbadge, it is one of the required trainings!) To find this online………..go to olc.scouting.org and click on “This is Scouting”.. I have not tried it out myself, but understand that it takes about 45 minutes depending on how fast your computer is, how fast you read, etc……..Hope you’ll all go check it out!! Please encourage all of your leaders to go through this online course if they haven’t taken the New Leader Essentials Course. Thanks!
