Veterans Day Observations - we will be marching in the Parade, and will host our annual Flag Retirement ceremony.

Please note we will require 4 Adult Leaders at all times to conduct a campout, and will have a sign up before we confirm the camping trip.

Merit Badge and Advancement focus for the month and into early December will include the First Aid Merit Badge in collaboration with Troop 92 at St. Alberts Church, and a corresponding badge for those who have already received First Aid at the Clubhouse.

The WHC Meat Raffle was a success, and we’ve been afforded an opportunity to repeat this event by Cathay Center on 11/21. Mrs. Duffy and Mrs. Tait are coordinating, and we will need volunteers to help sell tickets and hope all can attend.

Annual Rechartering and Membership Renewal will be done in November – please stay tuned for details!
